What is a childminder agency?

Childminder agencies (CMAs) like tiney provide new and existing childminders with a popular alternative to direct Ofsted registration. Childminder agencies were introduced by the Government to provide more support and services to childminders and their families.

tiney is the biggest CMA in England and has fast become the most popular registration route for many new childminders. In recent months, almost half of all new childminders chose to register with tiney! All childminder agencies are fully regulated by Ofsted, meaning they are licensed to train, support and quality assure their registered childminders (you can read tiney’s glowing Ofsted report here!).
