Joanne's Childminding Service

Petition: Do not remove the 10% wear and tear allowance for childminders from April 2026 Retain the 10% wear and tear allowance for childminders, or introduce an equivalent alternative that reflects the additional household costs of providing regulated childcare from home and helps ensure childminding remains financially sustainable.

I bet every childminder can relate to this one! We’ve started doing a tally chart in our heads 😂

We also hear
“You’ve been busy!”
“Are they all yours?”
“Are they twins?”
“Are they triplets?”
“Oh that’s clever (the wagon) Is there room for me in there?”

❗️We are aware that some childminders have received text messages claiming to be from ‘Ofsted Support’ telling them their registration has been temporarily suspended and asking them to click a link. Please be advised, these messages are not from Ofsted. Please ignore the messages and do not click any links. If you have received one of these messages and need to talk to us please do so by calling 0300 123 1231.

Childcare Choices has been replaced with the Best Start in Life.
The new website allows parents to access government funded childcare information and the NHS Start for Life information within the one site. With content on topics that will take them from pregnancy, through their child's journey to starting school and beyond.
The eligibility criteria for government early education and childcare funding and the application process remains the same.
