Notice of intended closure

Dear Members,

Sadly, we must announce the closure of the Childminding Forum. This decision has not been made lightly but has become necessary due to several factors, including the upcoming enforcement of the Online Safety Act, which introduces compliance challenges we cannot effectively meet, declining activity levels, and the increasing costs of maintenance.

We want to thank every one of you for being a part of this community, sharing your thoughts, and contributing to meaningful discussions. The forum will remain accessible until the end of 10th February 2025. Thereafter, we will preserve most the content in a read-only mode for a short period of time.

Thank you for your understanding and support over the years.

Warm regards,

The Childcare.co.uk Team
