A new ‘Integrated Childminding Service’ is soon to launch in Glasgow City, bringing together the Community Childminding Service and funded Early Learning and Childcare (ELC).

As East Dunbartonshire Council gets ready to offer local families additional hours of free early learning and childcare, childminders across the area are being invited to get involved. Childminders are invited to come along to an information event to find out more about the Council’s plans and how they can contribute. The event is taking place on Thursday 14 June 2018, 6.30 – 7.30pm at Auchinairn Community & Early Years Centre, Beech Road, Bishopbriggs, G64 1NE

The Care Inspectorate is reviewing its registration process and would like your help and suggestions about how we can make this process more streamlined and helpful for people who wish to start a childminding service.
