*Childminders follow the EYFS like all other early years settings, including school nurseries.
*Childminders are registered and inspected through Ofsted or Ofsted registered agencies.
*Childminders welcome you into their hearts and homes - they get to know families very well and they are nurturing settings that are child centred.
*Childminder settings are unique and diverse - the bespoke curriculum provides amazing opportunities to learn through play, not just in the setting but also in the wider world.
*Childminders are wonderful, and without them, the government would have no where near enough early years provision - not even with the roll out of more school based nurseries.
*Childminders offer flexible care and longer hours than most school based nurseries, making them the perfect choice for families, to fit around their work commitments.
