What is the Welsh Government doing to support childminders in Wales?

Answered by Minister for Children and Social Care | Answered on 08/10/2024

We are committed to supporting individuals across Wales to enter and stay in childminding.

Following publication of the Independent Review of Childminding, a Childminding Review Recommendations Group Overview Panel was established in July 2023 to consider findings.

A range of actions have been developed in response to the recommendations  and a Written Ministerial Statement was published during National Childminding Week (11-17 May) summarising the actions to support childminders in Wales.

We will continue to closely monitor implementation of our actions.
