Koru Kids' childminder business partnership & ongoing support

Become a registered childminder Start your application

Incredible value childminding support

We take 10% of the money parents pay you. We only earn money when you do - so we dig deep to help you make your business a success.

We offer a lot more support than other childminder agencies. We support you each and every day - not just in the beginning.

As you're with a trusted and loved brand you can charge parents more, which often pays for our fee alone.

Join a live masterclass or try our free introductory training course to find out more.

Getting registered

We guide you through our training and registration process, covering almost all of the costs. This saves you up to £3,000 and allows you to be earning in as little as 8 weeks. We can offer interest free loans of £500 to help set up your home.

Rather than scary Ofsted inspectors, one of our friendly assessors will visit you to complete your registration. Throughout, we're always on the the end of the line for any questions you may have.

Getting going

We help find parents for you to quickly fill your spaces. We sort your contracts, policies, billing and chasing payments.

We'll guide you to getting set up as self-employed but no need to worry about insurance, accounts, HMRC or tax returns. We'll support you through all that - each and every month. So you can focus your energies on the little people you're caring for.

Any problems and our amazing advisors have got your back - just call.

Small homes welcome

As an Early Educator with Koru Kids you’ll spend at least half your day out using your local green spaces, returning for lunch and snoozes and afternoon play at home.

This means that even a modest home can be perfectly suitable. There is no need to have a garden and a flat can work well.

Be an Early Educator

Childminding. We actually want to ban this word. You are doing so much more than 'minding' children. You're shaping their minds and their learning.

We call you an Early Educator, parents see you that way and once you've done our training, you see yourself that way too.
