How do I go about finding a childminder?

[DumbledoresGirl]

I am sure there are lists of childminders available on websites as I remember looking at one for the area where I used to live (though the list was not complete I remember as my excellent childminder was not on it). But I can't remember what site that was.

I may need a childminder for January. Please advise me of how to go about finding one!

Go to your County Council website, and search for Childcare. Ours (Norfolk) eventually provides a list - but it's only those childminders who want to be on the list, IYSWIM, so it won't necessarily be complete.

Thank you Hassled. Off to try that now.

this one I think you mean

Thanks hassled, and yes HelBels, that is the site. I got to it via the local council. So thanks to both of you.
