You will need to complete a health declaration form before you register with Ofsted to look after or care for children.

Please complete a form if:

• youre applying to register as a childminder on the Early Years Register
• youre registering as the manager of childcare on domestic premises
• youre applying to register as a social care establishment, agency or manager
• Ofsted has asked you to complete it because we need more information (for example, if you live with a childminder or if you own a nursery)
