childminder question

I'm looking for a childminder/nanny in the Canisbay/Groats/Gills/Mey/Freswick area for next year, for a one-year-old.

I've looked on the web but can only find ones that are miles away.

Does anyone know whether there is a list of registered childminders held by anyone?

Or do you know of anyone who does this in northeast Caithness?

Any pointers would be much appreciated :)

think you can get a list of registered childminders from the social work office also someone went into the council office to ask so wheather they can help i am not sure.

this is usually up to date

it looks like your closest is Dunnett

there was an advert in Castletown Post Office for someone think it was Brough or Scarfskerray.

if they are a registered childminder then they will be listed on the care commission site and you can read their inspection report! :Razz

the childcare link can sometimes be out of date but the care commision shouldn't be

As over-the -ord says go to the site mentioned - get relevant inspection and comments on how well place is run. Should have it all there and should be up to date, they are the inspectors, graders, fault finders and advisers - they state it as it is, no cover ups.

Thanks folks. That's a good starting point - it's not something anyone would want to take a chance with!
