The National Childminding Association states that \\\"All childminders in England and Wales must hold a valid paediatric first-aid certificate when they register. In England, the first-aid course must be recognised by Ofsted and the childminder\\\'s local authority. The first-aid certificate should be updated on a regular basis - every three years or so, in accordance with the issuing body.\\\"


Certificates are valid for 3 years. There are no pre-requisites to attend this course.
