    Default Collective noun for childminders?

    A bit of a light-hearted thread, what do you think the collective noun for childminders should be?
    I was thinking 'a cuddle of childminders'!
    Any other suggestions?

    I am SO SAD, I am looking on wikipedia for a very funny and witty collective noun when I discovered the collective noun for crows is.... A MURDER of crows?

    How about either a CHATTER of Childminders or a CHAMPION of Childminders?
