This film ‘The Benefits of Childminding’ was commissioned by the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham to promote their childminding services to families living in the borough. It looks at the practical and professional side of childminding and how play and learning has an important role in the development of a child in a childminding setting. The childminders and the assistant featured in this video demonstrate good business practices which you should consider when writing your business plan.
