Why choose a childminder?

Childminders can offer:


  • Individual care, sometimes on a one to one, where time can be spent interacting with your child, whether that be having a cuddle and singing nursery rhymes or helping with homework
  • The EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) learning journey
  • Flexible hours, usually earlier or later starts than day nurseries and Out of School Clubs can offer
  • Home-based care
  • Low adult:child ratios
  • Continuity of care, from just a few weeks right through to secondary school
  • To meet the individual needs of your baby/child, adapting where possible to the routines of your child
  • Social outings to toddler groups and Childminder drop-ins
  • Real life learning, in a community environment, with regular trips to the local libraries, shops and parks etc
  • A change from school environment at the beginning or after a long day
