Nursery World - Work Matters: A day in the life ... Julia Bussell, Childminder

What does the day hold for a childminder, and what career options does she have?

Name: Julia Bussell

Job title: Childminder

Qualifications: NVQ 3 Care, Learning and Development

Organisation: Kids at Courtlands (own childminding business)

It was the experience of working as an assistant to a childminder several years ago that gave me the idea of becoming trained and registered to run a childminding business of my own. I've now been doing so for four years since completing my training during the time I was pregnant with my youngest child, so that I could be ready to register after my daughter was born.

Being a member of my local Children Come First childminding network has enabled me to link with other childminders in my area and offers me support if and when I need it.
