I am setting up a new childminding business from my home which is in the m20 postcode, just off Kingsway on the borders of Didsbury, Withington and Burnage. Ideal for people in the area or anyone commuting along Kingsway/A34.

I am a trained and experienced teacher so I have lots of experience of caring for and teaching children - particularly young children, as I have spent most of my time teaching the EYFS (Early years curriculum).

You can search for me online or look at my Facebook page 'samanthajoneschildminding', alternatively feel free to email me of you want to find out more or have an informal chat about your childcare needs.

Thanks :)

Hi, do you still live in Didsbury and have contacts for childminders?

I have a 3 year old whom I need to find a place for 3 days a week ( Wed, Thu, Fri) from around 8-5.

Needs to be near Parrs Wood or on the 42 bus route from Stockport as I don't drive.

If you could help me in this, I would be forever grateful as I have been trying all week with no luck.

Many Thanks

Ashley

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for child minders in the Didsbury, Manchester area for my son who will be 12 months old when I'm due to go back to work. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I am also looking for a childminder to take care of my daughter full time when I return to work in July 2015. If anybody has any recommendations I'd be very grateful.

Many thanks,
Kate

Hi there! May be a good way to go is for someone to leave a link here to a good website with a list of childminders? I tried looking in different places, but no luck!

moogster1a · 13/05/2010 07:50

my word, I wish I lived in Didsbury still. Sounds like I'd have no problem filling my vacancies!!

sleeplessinseatle · 12/05/2010 20:40

Hi

I don't know any personally, but I know East Didsbury Methodist Church on Parrswood Road has a childminders playgroup once a week.

Perhaps you could contact them so, any with a vacancy could let you have thier details.

Hi, please could anyone recommend a few childminders in Didsbury area. I'll be returning to work in October and will need full-time care for my daughter, who'll be over eight months old by then.

Here's my email address: [email protected]

Thanks!

Thanks!

Dear "mancmum",

I am in the same position as the person who started this thread: I am looking for a good childminder in Didsbury. Could you possibly contact me about those you know (ditto anyone else reading this message who has recommendations)? I have a 14-months-old boy. At the moment, his childcare consists of a combination of a nanny (3 days per week) plus a nursery (1.5 days per week). We are not wholly happy with this arrangement. Our nanny increasingly spends her days socialising with her friends, so that our child is in a new environment almost every day. It is not clear to us why we are paying exorbitant nanny rates when she provides so little spatial continuity and personal attention for our child. At the same time, the nursery, while providing lots of excellent stimulation, has so many different staff that our son seems increasingly panicked by the prospect of meeting lots of strangers every time he goes. A childminder (i.e. someone who looks after a small group of children in their own home) strikes us as a good compromise, and hopefully a longer-term solution, allowing our toddler to socialise with other children, but also to have the security of seeing one person he knows every day. We have not yet made a definitive decision about where to go from here, and are still trying to sort things out with our nanny. But it would be good to know whether there are local alternatives out there! I would also be very interested in hearing about other people's experiences with different types of childcare.

Hi Tottle, thanks for replying....I´m afraid it wouldn´t be part time nursery. Thanks anyway!

Hi tottle! Thanks for your reply. Our eldest will be joining nursery in january and we´re looking for somebody in the area who could take her and pick her up from school while looking after our youngest. Do you do school pick ups? We live in Withington.
