A number of childminders have approached the Childminding Forum asking for a section dedicated to independent childminders.

So here it is!


This is YOUR section - for YOU to talk about what YOU intend to do to remain independent.

You can use it to discuss your concerns for independence AND to ask advice and share information and good practice about independence.

The next few months are going to be a learning journey for every one of us as we decide what we want to do - join an agency or stay independent.

The Childminding Forum is here to support you - whatever you choose
