Magic Minders: support for members
Magic Minders members offer mutual help and support to those who need it, especially to those who are newly registered.
Providing home-based childcare can be a challenging and lonely job, and particularly daunting for those new to the role. 

​Support might include emotional support, friendship, advice on writing policies; setting fees; organising the environment; children’s behaviour; tracking children’s development; advertising vacancies; completing Local Authority paperwork, and other administrational tasks.
Magic Minders is always keen to welcome new members.
If you are a registered childminder or nanny in the Worthing/Arun area and would like to join, please download and complete the form below and send it to 
​
[email protected]
Magic Minders is also eager to support anyone currently in the process of registering or considering a career in home-based childcare. There is a dedicated Facebook group for prospective childminders and nannies,
​so do get in touch.
