Welcome to the monthly magazine designed, written and published for childminders by childminders.

This publication is designed to reflect your needs, inspire you to think outside the box and to support you in your business. The children we mind are at the heart of everything we do and we are hoping this magazine will enable you to reflect on your practice, keep up to date with information, be inspired by ideas and share your individual experiences and knowledge.

This is an exciting time for childminders as our roles and responsibilities are beginning to be valued and recognised and we are becoming professionals in our own right.

We are positive you will find this magazine useful and look forward to promoting childminding for the exciting and relied upon profession that it is.
