Childminder in Ringmer, Lewes

Hello!

Relocating to Ringmer village this December and looking for well regarded childminders, if anyone has recommendations they would be really welcome! Looking for Mon-Fri availability.

Thank you 🙏

Hello @LSobell - we've moved your thread over to Paid childcare. Best of luck.

Good luck with the move! I can't name individual childminders there, but East Sussex's childcare directory (ESCIS, linked from the council's finding childcare page) lets you search childminders by postcode and each listing links to their Ofsted report, so you can see who's actually registered near you and how they did before you start messaging round.

I'd start contacting people now tbh, full time Mon-Fri spots tend to go first and December isn't far off. Worth asking each one what they do about their own holidays too, as you'll probably need cover for those weeks. And if yours is 2 or over, Ringmer Primary has a nursery for 2-4s with intakes in Sept, Jan and April, so might be worth an email as a backup or to mix with a childminder.
