For childminders

The hub for the people who do the job

Written by a practising, registered childminder who has been through Ofsted more than once — not by a consultant who has read the framework.

Professional hub

What’s coming, and why it’s different

There is plenty of guidance written about childminding. There is very little written by someone currently doing it, on a Tuesday, with four children and an inspection due.

Around thirty resources are planned across business and registration, EYFS practice, safeguarding and CPD. The paperwork ones come first, because that is what eats the evenings.
