Childminding Week 2025

12-17 May | Help us #CheerForChildminding and be part of something really BIG!

Oh well, that's Childminding Week over for another year - and what a week it was!

Thank you all so much for your support, interactions and engagement. Together, our #CheerFor Childminding messages reached more than 130,000 people across social media, which extends far beyond the childminding workforce - and this is all thanks to YOU! 

Take a look back at Childminding Week 2025 on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn - and let's keep the #CheerForChildminding conversation going throughout the whole year, and help us celebrate and showcase the true value of childminding in Scotland.  



Childminding Week is one of our flagship events in the SCMA calendar, as we come together to celebrate and boost awareness and recognition of childminding in Scotland. 

This award-winning event is an opportunity for childminders to celebrate and showcase the true value of childminding, and its importance within the childcare sector. 

Childminding is consistently one of the highest rated forms of childcare in Scotland through independent inspection by the Care Inspectorate – and we hope you’ll #CheerForChildminding again this year!

P.S. Keep your eyes peeled on our social media channels as we welcome ‘Charlie the Childminding Bear’ who will be making an appearance, and you can find out what he’s been getting up to!
