Childminder Conference 2026!

About this event

A free conference for registered childminders and early years practitioners, organised by the Derbyshire Nottinghamshire Early Years Hub. Held at Little Explorers Nursery in Ilkeston, the day brings together sole-trader childminders and small setting owners for sessions on practice, regulation and business support relevant to home-based childcare. Expect practical guidance you can apply the same week, plus the chance to meet peers and hub staff who can point you towards ongoing local support. Worth attending if you run or are considering setting up a childminding business in the East Midlands and want a free, low-pressure way to stay current.
