Frequently asked questions
Why doesn’t LondonEY list individual childminders?
Ofsted withholds childminders’ names and addresses because most work from their own homes. We publish only borough totals. Childminders can choose to add a listing in future.
How can I check a childminder?
Ask the childminder for their Ofsted unique reference number (URN). You can search for their latest inspection report on the Ofsted reports website using that number, and your council’s Family Information Service can tell you about registered childminders near you.
