Childcare Sufficiency

 The Council is required to make sure there is enough childcare for parents in work or training.  It has to publish an annual report to show this.

Starting up new provision in Newcastle

Early Years Sector Support Team can support you to set up new group provision or become a childminder.

For group provision we will meet with you to talk through your business plan and ideas.

For childminding we offer a online briefing session to share information about the role and registration process. We also now have available a online childminder registration course, for more information contact 30hours@newcastle.gov.uk

You can find further information about being a childminder here.
