Some of the benefits...
Peace of mind
Childminders who care for children under 8 are required by law to be registered and inspected. They undergo introductory training, including first-aid, and have public liability insurance and an enhanced Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) disclosure.
Consistent care
One of the many benefits of using a registered childminder is that your child is looked after by the same person each day, so they can form a close relationship with their carer.
A home from home
Another home is the ideal setting for childcare. Your child will be in a relaxed family environment, where there are routines and surroundings that they can become familiar with.
A flexible choice
A registered childminder can often offer care to fit around varied working hours. And because they usually live locally they are able to incorporate your child’s regular activities into their day – so they won’t miss out on the things they enjoy.
