Why Choose a Childminder
“Childminders offer a flexibility of service that is difficult to find in other childcare provisions. Because they look after small groups of children, their daily routine is very adaptable. Individual dietary requirements, sleeping patterns or homework projects can be catered for with ease. Their flexibility makes childminders ideal care providers for children whose parents work shifts. Unlike most nurseries, out of school clubs and summer play schemes childminding services are often offered outside of standard opening hours.” (Scottish Childminding Association, 2007)
“Good care by one person is almost certain to be more loving and sensitive than care by a number of different people, however competent” (Goldsmied, Elinor; Jackson, Sonia;, 2004, p. 83)
