REC Childcare

Start an agency


 Thinking of starting up a childcare agency?

Below are some points you might want to consider:

  • Business Support Services, part of the REC's Academy for Business, is the UK's first ever industry-specific enterprise support service. www.rec.uk.com/a4b.

  • All Childcare Agencies are governed by the Conduct of Employment Agencies Act Regulations.

  • Guidance on tax regulations, applicable if the child-carer is approved, can be found on the National Childminding Association website.

  • You should be aware of countries from which you can and cannot recruit and which restrictions (if any) exist from the Home Office.

  • Visa information can be obtained here.

  • You should be aware of the Workers Registration Scheme.
