Hi!
I can't reccommend anyone in the Hemel area, but here is the link to the Children's information list of minders in that area.
here
I do, however, come into contact with a lot of new childminders, as I am the mentor for the area, plus secretary for the county association.
What are you looking for, days, hours, age and sex of child, if you prefer to email me off list with details go via my website the best childminder in Herts!!
I have been booked for September 2004, but one generally only knows a month in advance whether a vacancy will come up, as parents only have to give a month's notice. I only seem to lose my families as they move away. I am sure that I would have at least a terms notice, with a months written notice with all mine though. I know that one of mine is leaving in July as she will be old enough to stay to prep at school in Sept.
I am always happy to see people and gave them information and help them with what to look for, ie, HQS , CCP, first aid, food hygiene cert etc.
