Childminders, Children’s Centres and Extended Schools – A Shared vision for children

The reason for providing or extending childcare services in schools and through existing local providers are compelling. High quality childcare combined with activities will help raise educational achievement where children have opportunities such as arts, sports, and volunteering activities.

Trio Childminding Link-up Scheme
Linking childminders providing home based care to local schools ensure parents have choice and extends the schools involvement wider into the local community.

Childminders fill in and take into the office of a participating school a ‘Details of Registered Childminder’ form - for a copy see our Resources page.

Childminders keep their vacancy details up to date with the school and Family Information Service.

Parents looking for childcare ask at the school office for the ‘Details of Registered Childminder’ forms.

The School photocopies the original forms and passes copies to the parent who can make contact with the Registered Childminder.
