How to Find A Childminder

In England, a childminder is someone who cares for children during the day, at their (the childminders) home. You take your child to the childminders, and pick your child up from the childminder at the end of the day. Childminders typically care for children aged 3 months old to 10 years old.

To Find A Childminder, contact your local Children's Information Service. This is typically run by your local authority or county council. Children's Information Service can provide you with a list of local childminders, who have childcare vacancies.

Childminders in England are regulated by Ofsted. You can view Childminder Inspection Reports on Ofsted's website at www.ofsted.gov.uk
