CHILDMINDERS in Oxfordshire have been reminded to make sure they have a first aid certificate.
Oxfordshire County Council's early years team said in recent weeks childminders had received poor Ofsted ratings because they did not have an up-to-date certificate.
The early years foundation stage and childcare register makes an up-to-date certificate a requirement.
Anyone who does not have one should undertake a course to get one.
