What is a childminder?
A childminder is a person who works with children for more than two hours a day in their own home* and receives payment. From 1st November 2024 childminders can also operate solely from non-domestic premises.
Be your own boss, choose your own hours, work from home, enable your career to fit around your commitments and caring for your family. All while supporting the children you care for in your local community grow and develop.
Please note: The childminder grant mentioned in the video is for new childminders only. These are individuals who are either registering as a childminder for the first time, or those who have previously registered as a childminder but de-registered for at least 12 months before their current registration.
