Childminders welcome ... at the library

Childminders Welcome leaflet cover

If you are a registered childminder you can have a special Childminder's Library Ticket.

How do I get one?

It helps to bring along something with your name and address on it and tell us your OFSTED registration number.
You can borrow up to 25 books (and up to 6 story CDs) for twelve weeks at a time. You can introduce the children you look after to the library and borrow books for them to enjoy in your home.

All children and their carers are very important

There's no charge for items lost or damaged by under fives, looked after children or children with additional needs.
You are welcome to feed and change your baby. Noise, tantrums and the need to use the loo are not a problem.

At your local library you will find...

  • a bright comfortable children's area
  • friendly helpful staff
  • all kinds of information
  • CDs, videos and DVDs
  • books on childcare
  • details of college courses
  • computers with free internet access.

Many libraries run Rhyme times and Story times. All libraries hold exciting holiday activities.

Here to help

Moving house? A new baby? Staff can help you find the right book for a special situation or first experience, plus books to support cultural diversity and disability awareness.


The above is text from a leaflet that can be downloaded or opened online from the link on this page.
