Childminders
Childminders are childcare professionals who can offer school drop-off and/or pick-up as well as part or full-time places and school holiday care.
Children are cared for in the childminder’s home often with a range of children of different ages, sometimes including their own. This form of childcare is registered and must comply with certain standards enforced by Ofsted.
