Become a childminder

There are so many fantastic reasons to become a registered childminder.

If you'd like to have a rewarding career, be your own boss, run your business from home and make a real difference to children's lives, then being a registered childminder might be just the job for you.

As a registered childminder you will:

• Offer the children you care for a happy and inspirational environment.
• See the children that you care for grow and develop.
• Work in your home, choosing the hours you work and the services you provide.
• Have a career where no two days are the same.
• Care for your own children at the same time if you have a family.
• Meet other childminders in your area and get to know your local community.
• Join around many thousands of childminders in England and Wales providing high-quality childcare.
