Scotland: Scottish Childminding Association (SCMA) New Childminder Recruitment Campaign

For a limited time, SCMA is delighted to be offering fully-funded support and training packages to help set up new childminding business in rural and urban areas of Scotland where there is demand for more childcare to support working families. With funding provided by Scottish Government and participating local authorities and agencies in order to enhance parental employability, the initiative is being led by SCMA and delivered through the Scottish Childminding Partnership.

Areas considered: Edinburgh, East Renfrewshire, Dundee, Glasgow and the Highlands.

Applicants who meet the eligibility criteria will be provided with training, support and a business start-up grant to help them pursue a rewarding career in professional childminding. Register you interest and we will be in touch with more information.

Why be a childminder?

By joining this hugely fulfilling profession, you’ll not only be providing high-quality, nurturing childcare, you’ll also benefit from the flexibility and freedom that professional childminding can offer.
