What do you wish for in 2026? 

This festive season we are asking for something that cannot be bought or wrapped. We want childminders and nannies to feel valued, respected and have their voices heard. We want families to be able to access quality childcare provision that suits their and their children’s needs.

We’re asking you to tell us what is on your festive wishlist this year. Our wishlist isn’t about gifts, it’s asking the Government and wider public to recognise and celebrate home-based childcarers. 

Get involved and enter our prize draw!

To take part in our festive campaign, just follow these simple steps:

1. Make sure you’re following @CoramPACEY on social media.

2. Snap a festive photo of your setting, yourself, or anything that captures the spirit of the season.

3. Share your picture on your social media account and write in the caption your wish for 2026 using #MyChildcareWish, and tag us @CoramPACEY and a friend!

We’ll choose three winners in our festive prize draw, each with the chance to win £50 worth of products from the Coram PACEY shop and a £50 shopping voucher. Entries close on 18 December 2025.

We will be highlighting some of your festive wishes on our social media pages and we’ll also use a selection to decorate our Coram PACEY tree!
