How to find a Registered Childminder
Parents seeking a Registered Childminder should contact the Children’s Information Service http://www.childcarelink.gov.uk for a full list of childminder’s with vacancies in their area.
Throughout the county childminders regularly meet to stimulate the social development of the minded children. Some of these childminding groups have a member who is a Vacancy Coordinator. The Vacancy Coordinator is aware of the vacancies and possible future availability of the childminders in their group.
The Vacancy Coordinator is a voluntary role and parents contacting them should be aware that they may need to phone back at an agreed time as the care of the children is our first priority.
Not all areas are covered by a Vacancy Coordinator in which case you can email us on the contact page and we will try to assist you in contacting a childminder in your area.
The groups draw childminders from the surrounding areas so contact the nearest to the area you want.
