‘Magic of Childminding’ campaign launched.
There are spotlights on some incredible childminders and new case studies on the positive impact of childminders in areas such as SEND, family support, caring for babies and many more. The desire is that more families will understand the benefits of choosing a childminder and how childminding settings enrich the lives of families and children.
Coram PACEY want childminders to feel seen, valued and supported by the early years sector and general public because without childminders, we would lose the magic of home-from-home settings that all children and families deserve to experience.
How to get involved:
- Download the digital social images on the website and share on your social pages using the hashtag #magicofchildminding
- Reach out to your local authority, ask if they have seen the campaign and what they are doing to support it and the childminders in your area.
- Reflect on your own practice and your impact on the children you care for. Coram Pacey want to hear from you and use your examples in our ‘Magic of Childminding’ report.
In addition, Coram PACEY are looking for case studies that highlight the real Magic of Childminding - on children and their families, and on the wider local community. They could include stories that demonstrate support for children with SEND, creative and enriching activities, unique learning opportunities, strong partnerships with schools or local services, or the various ways childminders help families thrive. Selected examples may be showcased as part of our campaign and featured in our new report launching during Childminding Week 2026.
Please get in touch with the Policy Team if you have any examples to share or use this online form.
