Supportive Facebook Community

Working as a childminder can feel isolating at times, especially when you don’t have colleagues to bounce ideas off or check things with. That’s where online support becomes incredibly valuable - it gives you instant access to people who understand the job, the challenges, and the day‑to‑day decisions you’re making.

​

There are several excellent closed Facebook groups if you search for childminders, offering spaces to ask questions, share experiences, and get reassurance when you need it.

​

One of these is Friendly Childminders, a supportive online community I established in 2018. It’s a warm, welcoming space where you can ask the “daft” questions, get practical advice, and connect with thousands of childminders who genuinely get it. It’s a place to feel supported, understood, and never alone in your practice.
