15 hours free childcare - can it be used for childminders? Or only pre-schools?

[LlamaLover]

Just that really?

DS is at a lovely childminders. Flexible, fun and friendly.

When he is 3 and entitled to the 15 hours free childcare - can I use it with her? Or will it have to be at a preschool?

Thanks

Some CMs are registered, and some aren't - you'd have to ask her I'm afraid as it's down to the individual if they want to or not.

Your childminder has to be part of her local childminding network and be accredited by them before she can claim the funding on your behalf.
