Hi guys looking for some info re childminding in Perth. We are hoping to make the move next year to Perth and was just wondering if childminders are found over there?

I am a childminder myself and my ideal would be to continue as one over there.

Also does anyone know if you need to be registered there as you do here?

If anyone knows or can point me in the right direction then that would be brill.

Thanks in advance,

OB

"Family day care is provided for small groups of children by licensed carers in their own family homes. Each carer is approved to look after a certain number of children, with the maximum group size being 7 (with additional limits on the number of children under school age.) Family Day Care may be able to provide flexible hours to suit a variety of situations, including shift workers hours, regular part-time care and occasional care, sometimes even overnight care.

Each carer is monitored by an area co-ordinator who will have details of the groups and any vacant places in your area that match your needs."
