Childminders
Childminders look after children between the ages of 0-16 in their own homes. There are approximately 200 in the Rochdale borough and some are currently registered to deliver early education for 2, 3 and 4 year-olds.
Most childminders work from 8am to 6pm but are usually flexible. Some offer weekends, overnight and emergency care.

Is a childminder right for you?
A childminder might be for you if:
- You need flexible care because of irregular work hours which don't fit with an 8am-6pm nursery day.
- You want your child to be cared for in a family home.
- You want your child to have one carer.
- You have children of different ages and it's important they're cared for together.
- Mixing with large groups of children isn't a priority right now.
