there is one on MSN but can't remember what that is - you want me to try and find out?

Jensmum · 16/02/2006 13:50

is MSN the one where you need a hotmail account?

HellyBelly · 16/02/2006 13:51

Not sure - I don't have hotmail but then I've never used it.

Hi there are three internet forums I belong to for childminders, one is on MSN Groups & the other 2 are yahoo groups, if you go to either of the groups pages & put in a search for Mind Your Own Buisness (MSN & yes it is misspelt) or on Yahoo groups UK Childminders & UK Registered Childminders they should find them.

sorry for sounding thick but how do you get to group page? (MSN)

badgerhead · 16/02/2006 19:55

Try this link here

HellyBelly · 16/02/2006 20:01

cheers, for some reason i put my password in and it's not working. maybe because i'm not registered with this group?

Jensmum · 16/02/2006 20:57

You just need to say why you want to join, how long you've minded etc then one of the managers will approve you.

badgerhead · 19/02/2006 17:16

Try these two links:
UKRegisteredChildminders
and ukchildminders

Tan1959 · 19/02/2006 22:41

There is also this very helpful and useful site for childminders:
