Discounts for childminder

Hello does Anyone know if childminders get any sorts of discounts in any retail shops?

Elc give 10% off - you will need your registration number to sign up

Miffy xx

Early Learning Centre do a discount but only in their own shops - not on-line and not in the consessions that are in other shops.

There are some discounts I think if you are a member of Pacey - Halfords (miniscule off certain things) or if you buy vouchers you get a bit more than you pay for

I think there are some for MM policy holders but not sure

I am Pacey member how do I go about getting my discount? Also the ELC where I live is inside mothercare can I sign up there? Xx

As Childminders are self employed you can get a trade membership to Costco Wholesale and other cash and carry wholesalers. We use Bookers cash and carry and save a fortune on everyday items like toilet rolls, bleach, washing up liquid etc.

I know these are not discounts but they are cheaper than the High street.

Not sure I couldn't use the discount where I used to live but it was 10 years ago so may have changed. You need to take your membership card in.

If you sign into MyPacey on the Pacey website and look under My Benefits you will find member offers there are some others.

Looks like they don't do the Halfords one or the vouchers anymore.

It's always worth asking when you take children on trips and outings, sometimes soft play areas do discounts for childminders

Most of the soft plays my way do discounts for childminders and if you ask some places will do you prices at concession rates

The elc nearest to me is also in a mothercare and I get the 10% discount. I had to take a copy of my cert for them to see then they gave me a discount card :)
