From first step to confident childminder, with real support at every stage
Many people simply start by seeing what childminding involves and whether it could work for them.
Start Your Own Childminding Business
with @Home Childcare
Childminders do more than care for children, they provide early education, emotional support and a stable presence in children’s lives. It’s a professional role that makes a real difference to local families.
At @Home Childcare, we guide you step by step through becoming a confident, registered childminder. You’ll get expert training, personal support from real mentors, and hands-on help setting up your business the right way.
And once you’re registered, the support doesn’t stop. You’ll run your own service within the @Home Childcare network, with your mentor and a whole team beside you. From marketing and enrolment to funding claims and invoicing, we’ll help with the time-consuming tasks, so you can focus on the children, your families, and having more time to yourself at the end of a busy day.
