Hi everyone, Its been ages since I've been on here! I've been out of the childminding game for about 18m - 2yrs. I have the opportunity to start a new childminding business working with another childminder. I wanted to ask all those childminders out there who work as a husband and wife team or 2 childminders together in the same setting how it works for you.

I completed a BA(Honours) Degree 2 years ago and whilst doing a lot of research came to the opinion that childminding would be a thing of the past within 10 years. That was 7 years ago and looks like with the introduction of agencies this will come true. Childminders play a very important role in the early years sector - parents want a warm, caring person to be hands on with their very young child. This warm environment is what encourages all areas of development. I have always worked with the child being central to all I do, I could write an essay on good practice but I won't be able to stop!
