Services for childminders
Childminding Networks
Barnet Childminding Networks deliver the Children Come First Quality Assurance scheme. The Networks are a formal group of registered childminders who are assessed, monitored and supported by a Network Co-ordinator.
The childminders are self employed like all other childminders, but they have access to additional training and advice to help them to reach and set standards higher than the minimum standards laid down by OfSTED.
There is also a Childminding Mentor Co-ordinator, who trains and supports a group of experienced childminders to act as ‘mentors’ or buddies to newly registered or less experienced childminders.
The Childminding Networks will eventually provide a link to all of the Children’s Centres as these are developed across the borough.
