Sent to Coventry

The forward-looking childcare development team at Coventry Early Years Development and Childcare Partnership has overcome the problem of getting nannies together for meetings by sending out a Nanny Network newsletter. Network co-ordinator Jo Harrison says the newsletter is mailed out and is also available at libraries, Children's Information Services outlets and other places nannies are likely to see it, and she is also able to meet up with anyone who rings up needing support or advice on training or resources. Clearly Coventry is trying to embrace nannies in its overall vision of childcare, even though as unregistered carers they don't have to be considered by Children's Information Services. Nannies could contact the Children's Information Service or EYDCP at their local council to see about getting something similar off the ground in their area. The Coventry childcare development team can be contacted on 024 7668 4622.
