Childminding

Evergreen Childminding Network

Every two weeks we hold 'Drop In' sessions at Newport Children Centre for childminders in the community.

t's a great chance to meet others, to share some of the good practice that comes through being part of a childminding network and for the children to have fun and play together.

There is always a welcome along with coffee, tea and drinks for the children.

If you are interested in becoming a childminder and would like to find out more please come along and meet Wendy Whitelaw, the network coordinator and Sharon Tomkins, Family Support Officer.

The sessions are held at Newport Primary School in the Toy Library until the new building is open in the Autumn.
