/ FAQ · before you ask
What people ask before they use CareSnap.
01 How current is the funding data? +
Live against the DfE rate tables. Weekly freshness CI flags any update to hourly funding rates or eligibility thresholds.
02 Does CareSnap give Ofsted ratings? +
No — only Ofsted does. CareSnap surfaces the inspection-trigger gaps so the setting is ready when the call comes.
03 Is it suitable for childminders? +
Yes — childminder-specific ratio and funding rules are baked in. Pick 'childminder' in step 1.
04 What about SEND and disability access? +
CareSnap flags the disability access funding the setting is likely under-claiming, and surfaces the EHCP documentation gaps.
