Books for Childminders?

**Bazza** · 09-07-2009, 12:16 PM

Can anyone recommend any good books related to childminding at all?

What book was or still is your "bible"?

Anything related to becoming a Childminder or that offer ongoing support to you now.

Thanks in advance!

I've heard good things about the Penny Tassoni one but I just read my own if I'm stuck

I have a Penny Tassoni Nursery Nursing book which I bought when I was at college and I love it- I find lots of it is still relevent to childminding.

Thanks everyone. I spend a lot of time trawling a lot of forums, not all childcare related mind, but this one is by far the friendliest.

Better than mumsnet (if im allowed to say that

Don't have a book but Sarah's e-books are great and for anything else my 'bible' as it were is this place. Whatever the question somebody can come up with an answer.
