We are a group of registered childminders who meet up to share activities and ideas to ensure we provide the best quality childcare for the children we mind. We all work from our individual homes but the childminding group meet up at various venues, either at home, toddler groups, craft sessions in a hall, outings such as parks, soft play, farms etc. Parents who use a registered childminder can get help with childcare costs through the childcare element of the Working Tax Credit and Childcare vouchers through work are also accepted as payment by the majority of childminders.
