Britain needs 30,000 more childminders by 2030
Help us boost the brilliant profession of childminding and attract tens of thousands of new professionals to the early years sector by 2030. Sign our manifesto calling on Government and decision makers to make it easier for childminders to thrive.
How we get there
8 policy changes that would unlock 30,000 new childminders
1
Launch a national strategy to recruit & support childminders
2
Let childminders receive funded hours for relatives
3
Pay childminders fairly for government-funded hours
4
Make regulation fairer and reduce unnecessary costs
5
Include all childminders in the nursery milk scheme
6
Create consistent rules across all local authorities
7
Remove barriers for renters and council tenants
8
Pause Wear and Tear Allowance changes
Why this matters
30,000 childminders means:
100,000new childcare places
Childminders provide vital, high-quality early years education that is desperately needed across the UK
30,000high-skilled careers
Childminding creates opportunities for people to run their own business, boost their income, and create employment for others
200,000parents supported
More childminders creates better early years options for parents across the UK at a time when quality childcare options are shrinking
Sign the manifesto
I support the Childminding2030 manifesto and urge the Government to take urgent action across these 8 policy changes
30,000 by 2030
Britain's childminders are amazing
Thank you to all of the UK's brilliant childminders who bring joy, creativity, hard work and inspiring learnings to little lives every day. You are incredible!
