​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 childminder members' registered assistants) only, with the exception of committee-approved visitors.
​All non-members, including non-member registered assistants must be accompanied by a member at all times and never left unsupervised with children attending the group 
Safety notes for drop-ins
  • EYFS 2025 states that children must be in sight as well as hearing whilst eating and seated safely with an adult. 
  • Please be aware that some children may have allergies, so be vigilant, supervise children directly whilst eating and drinking, and clear away any food or drinks as soon as your children have finished.
  • Everyone attending the drop-in is responsible for helping to run a successful session, including supervising their children and helping set up and pack away.
  • Children must not leave the hall unattended, including to go to the toilet.
