Childminders complement and strengthen the wider early years system. Yet despite their significant contributions, the number of registered childminders across England and Wales has fallen steadily in recent years. This decline has taken place against ongoing challenges, including limited funding, a lack of targeted investment, increasing administrative demands, and a profession that is too often undervalued and overlooked.

Ka Lai Brightley-Hodges, Head of Coram PACEY, asks Olivia Bailey, Minister for Early Education, if the Government has a clear plan and target to stop the decline and support the future of childminding.
