Childminding
A childminding service involves an individual taking care, by themselves, of children under the age of 15 years, for payment, in the childminder’s home. A childminder is self-employed and provides a paid childcare service for a minimum of 2 hours a day in their own home. If a person is employed by you to mind your children in your home, they cannot register as a childminder.
As a parent or guardian, choosing a childminding service is a big step, and is a very significant decision you will make for your child. If you are a parent who uses or wants to use a Childminder for your child, you will find information here to help you make your decision.
