Finding local childcare

Once you have decided on the type of childcare you want for your child, you need to find out what is available in your local area.

Find a registered childminder near you!

Find registered childminders in your area with the free childcare vacancy matching service from PACEY and iChild. The childcare search service features childminder members of PACEY in England and Wales and you can see the services they offer on a dedicated webpage.

The listings contain information about the childminder's setting, their home, qualifications and any extra services they offer.

You may also want to access social networks like Netmums and Mumsnet to find out about local available childcare.
