Childminding groups

Childminding groups offer opportunities to meet other childminders and share practice. They are supported by a qualified practitioner who can help further your expertise. Childminders can get resources from libraries and toy libraries while some free workshops are also available at the childminding groups. Islington offers high quality training to prospective childminders as well as experienced childminders to keep up to date with their knowledge.
