Childminding Introductory Sessions

The Childcare Strategy Team provides support to people who are considering childminding as a career by offering free introductory sessions and pre registration courses as well as start-up grants.

Introductory sessions give the opportunity to:

• Find out exactly what childminding involves - it is much more than babysitting
• Consider the impact working as a childminder would have on your home and family life
• Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of looking after children in your own home
• Think about whether childminding would suit you as an individual

The sessions, which are held in the Community Wing at Perth Grammar School, are all very informal and involve quite a lot of group discussion.This course should be attended prior to the pre-registration course.
