Hello, I'm desperate to look for a childminder, who looks after my 2 daughters (5 and 4). We recently moved to Twickenham and my older daughter will start at Orleans infant school in early March. I asked if my younger daughter also could attend nursery there, but there was no space at all. If anyone can look after my younger's one full day and also pick up my older's one and look after her until I come back around 6pm for the whole week, please do contact me.

Have you looked on www.childcare.co.uk? :)

Yes I looked on the website, but do I need to subscribe 19.99 pounds monthly childcare subscription in order to contact childminders who I took interest in??
I don't know how to contact them.

You don't have to subscribe - you could try looking at their profiles or adding them to your favorites and just hope that they take the first move and contact you. Or you could get a free list from your local Family Information Service, or just google search (childminder twickenham, childcare twickenham). You would probably find they were listed elsewhere.

Contact your local Family Information Service (Google it) - that's what they are there for.
Sometimes the school office knows the CMs that pick up / drop off from their schools, it's worth asking there.

If you look at a profile it sends a message to the childminder to say that they have been viewed - if they subscribe then they can contact you and you pay nothing to respond to them :)
