Childminding Week 2017 is coming…
Childminding Week 2017 (8-14 May) is almost upon us and this year we want all our childminder members to come together and help raise the profile of childminding in Scotland.

SCMA’s Childminding Week team is busy planning to make this year bigger and better than ever. This is an exciting time for childminding in Scotland, and we hope that with your help 2017 will be another successful year. 

Find out more about Childminding Week 2017 and download our exclusive resources.


To celebrate the climax of Childminding Week, we have Childminding Day as the finale – and this year’s Childminding Day will be on Sunday 14 May at a different location!

Can you guess where Childminding Day 2017 is going to be…? 

You could win a FREE Family Pass if you can guess the new venue for SCMA’s Childminding Day 2017. Email your answers to marketing@childminding.org, message us via Facebook or send us a tweet.

The competition will close at midday on Friday 17 February and is open to SCMA members only. Correct answers will be added to a prize draw and the winner will be contacted on Friday 17 February. The free Family Pass entitles a family (two adults, two children) entry to the Childminding Day 2017 venue on Sunday 14 May.

Play Your Part
Throughout Childminding Week, we'll be working hard to raise awareness and improve the recognition of childminders nationwide and within the Early Learning and Childcare workforce. And we need your support too…

It's vitally important that childminders are recognised more widely as a valuable part of the professional childcare workforce. Already providing high quality, flexible care and learning experiences for more than 30,000 children across Scotland.
