Get Ready For Childminding – A Rewarding Career
Becoming a registered childminder provides opportunities to have an extremely rewarding and responsible career with the benefits of working from home. Childminding offers you the opportunity to:
- contribute to children's care, learning and development
- offer a family experience to other people’s children
- become self employed and run your own home-based business
- provide a valuable service for your local community
- Enhance your own skills and personal development
Information on childminding is available on the Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland – the Care Inspectorate.
Angus Council have developed a booklet Get Ready for Childminding (50 KB PDF)
which gives the answers to some common questions about childminding to help you decide whether this might be the career opportunity you have been looking for.
Please get in touch if you would like us to send you a copy. Telephone Angus ACCESSline on 08452 777 778 for more information.
