Home Daycare Employment Contract Generator

This Employment Contract is between the Employer, a registered home daycare provider offering childcare services from a domestic setting, and the Employee. Home daycare operates under stricter ratio limits than institutional nurseries, typically caring for a smaller number of children in a home environment. The Employee may serve as an assistant to the registered childminder or as a co-provider.

Employment is permanent from the Start Date, governed by applicable employment law and childcare regulations. This contract is the full agreement, with the Employer's safeguarding policy incorporated by reference.

Home daycare work takes place in a residential setting, requiring the Employee to maintain professional boundaries while working in a domestic environment. Enhanced background checks, first aid certification, and mandatory safeguarding training are conditions of employment.

Probation lasts three months. The Employer evaluates the Employee's ability to engage children in developmentally appropriate activities within a home setting, adherence to safeguarding and supervision standards, food preparation for children's meals and snacks, and compliance with the registered daycare's policies and inspection requirements.

Statutory notice applies during probation. A review at six weeks covers the Employee's interaction quality with children of mixed ages, documentation accuracy for attendance and incident records, parent communication professionalism, and understanding of emergency evacuation procedures for the home premises.

Permanent employment follows satisfactory probation. Extension may apply if the Employee is completing a paediatric first aid renewal or childcare qualification that has not yet concluded.
