Our Drop-in...
Magic Minders drop-ins enable members to meet up for mutual support, whilst their minded children experience stimulating play in a safe environment.
Drop-ins are open to members (and childminders' registered assistants) only, with the exception of committee-approved visitors, who must be accompanied by a Magic Minders member at all times and never left unsupervised with children attending the group.

New drop-in venue needed
Magic Minders is on the hunt for a new venue to run our childminder drop-in from. The ideal venue would have a large hall/room, car parking, kitchen facilities, and a place to store toys/resources. Until recently the drop-in has been run from the Ashdown Centre and Magic Minders is grateful to Guild Care for letting them use the centre, which has helped get things running again post-Covid. This has been very successful but this also means we have now outgrown the space and need somewhere bigger. Previously the group ran from a West Sussex Children & Family Centre, which was provided to MM free of charge. This enabled the group to keep the cost of attending to a minimum, something Magic Minders is keen to continue. This means Magic Minders is looking for a venue that fits all the above criteria but at minimal cost... This is a big ask, but if anyone can help, please contact the Secretary at magicminders@gmail.com |
