Claire Protheroe, Head of Contracts and Projects at Coram PACEY said:

I am proud to present our National Strategy for Childminding in Wales, setting out how Coram PACEY Cymru can continue growing the ‘Magic of Childminding’. Developed by the Coram PACEY Cymru team in consultation with childminders, this strategy keeps children, families, childminders and communities at the heart of our work. Taking a strengths-based approach that is child centred, system aware, evidence informed and practical, it marks an intentional shift towards recognising the very best that childminders offer their communities, rather than viewing childminding only through the lens of challenge or decline.

Alongside the Strategy and the Charter Coram PACEY Cymru have also published their action plan for 2026–2030. This action plan turns the ambitions of Growing the Magic: A National Strategy for Childminding in Wales 2026–2035 into a focused programme for the first three years. It sets out what Coram PACEY Cymru will deliver with childminders, children, families, Welsh Government, local authorities and partners to stabilise the sector, strengthen quality and inclusion, and create the conditions for sustainable growth.
