registered childminders
What is a childminding service?
A registered childminder is a self-employed professional day care provider, who works in their own home, providing care for the children of other people. Unlike Nannies and au-pairs, a childminder is inspected and registered by the Care Inspectorate. Registered childminders may be registered to care for up to 6 children between the ages of 0-12 years of age (including their own children).
Working parents may be eligible for Working Tax Credits or Childcare Vouchers to support them in meeting the costs of childcare. To be eligible for either scheme, parents must use registered childcare, such as childminders.
