Welcome to your Childminding journey

You will already know that being a childminder is more than just a job; it is a truly satisfying and rewarding career. Working with children to help nurture them to achieve their potential is a vitally important role in our society.

The Care Inspectorate values childminders very highly and we want to make sure that you feel well supported as you settle into your new career. We have developed this introductory programme as a practical way of helping you to get started.

We have created this booklet to give you hints, tips and suggestions to enable you to feel confident that you are on the right path.
