Name, email, postcode and your Ofsted (or CIW) registration number. About two minutes.
Fill in your profile
Rates, spaces, school runs, wrap-around care, what a day looks like and photos of your home. Save as you go — you don't have to finish in one sitting.
Reply to enquiries
Parents nearby find you and enquire. You get an email with their number — call or email them straight back.
Built around how you work
Local parents
Enquiries come from families who have already seen your rates, your hours and your spaces.
Their number, straight away
No unlocking, no credits. Every enquiry arrives with a phone number and email you can use right now.
A profile that shows your home
Photos, your routine, your garden — the things a nursery listing can never show.
Built for quick updates
Reply to enquiries, change your spaces and add photos from your phone whenever you get a quiet minute.
Your checks up front
Your Ofsted grade and the checks you hold are shown on your profile, so parents arrive already trusting you.
Free, genuinely
No subscription, no per-enquiry fee, no card. We're building the listings first.
What we'll ask you to fill in
Everything parents see on your page comes from these seven short sections. You can save and come back to any of them.
Your name, years of experience, languages, and a few lines in your own words.
Ofsted grade and date, URN, DBS details, first aid and insurance dates, qualifications.
Hourly rate, school-hours rate, unsociable hours, holiday day rate, funded hours.
How many spaces you have, which ages you accept, when you're free from, and a week-by-session grid.
Drop-offs, pick-ups, which schools, early starts, after-school care, holiday cover.
Your routine hour by hour — the single thing parents read most.
Garden, sleep room, meals, pets, smoking, plus photos of the rooms children use.

Questions childminders ask us
Does it cost anything?+
No. Your profile, your enquiries and your dashboard are free. There's no card to add and nothing to cancel.
How long does setting up take?+
About five minutes for the essentials. You can come back and add your routine, school runs and photos whenever you have a quiet moment.
Will parents see my home address?+
No. Parents see your town and postcode district (for example WA12). Your full address and phone number are never shown — you share them yourself once you've agreed a visit.
What if I have no spaces right now?+
Set your spaces to zero and your profile shows a waiting-list badge instead. You'll still get enquiries from parents planning ahead.
Do I have to accept funded hours?+
Not at all. Say whether you take 15 hours, 30 hours or Tax-Free Childcare, and parents can filter for what suits them.
When does my profile go live?+
Once you've filled in the essentials and sent it for review, the Toddle team checks your Ofsted registration and publishes it — usually within a couple of working days.
