PACEY provides introductory training in home-based childcare for childcarers in Wales.

There are two different packages of training available, one for those looking to register as a childminder in Wales and one for nannies and childminder assistants in Wales:

Nanny approval and childminder assistant training package

(comprises of Unit 326 Introduction to home-based childcare (IHC)).

Childminder pre-registration training package

(comprises of Unit 326 Introduction to home-based childcare (IHC), and Unit 327 Preparing for childminder practice (PCP)).

Accessing the training

The first thing to do is to attend a briefing session. These are available either through PACEY or through your local authority. Contact PACEY Cymru on 02920 351407 or email paceycymru@pacey.org.uk to find out more about your individual local authority’s position. Some local authorities will also fund you to complete the pre-registration training course and we can also give you information on funding available. Once these points have been confirmed we can guide you through the process of enrolling onto a course.

Course delivery

The training is delivered online so you will need access to a computer, and some computer skills, to complete the course. You can view your training on or offline on an Apple or Android handheld device (a phone or tablet), but you will need access to a PC or laptop in order to upload your written portfolio to the e-learning platform as Unit 326 Introduction to home-based childcare (IHC) is assessed through a portfolio of work.

All leaners will receive six months’ free PACEY learner membership. This includes access to resources through the members area on the PACEY website to support around completion of the course.

The course is designed to be flexible and to allow you to combine training whilst balancing work commitments and family life.

You should be able to complete your training package within three months, but in order to give you plenty of time to research and complete the assessment tasks, you will have access to your training, and the support of your expert assessor, along with learner membership of PACEY, for six months from the date of purchase.
