FIFE Council has teamed up with the Scottish Childminding Association for a Kingdom-wide recruitment campaign.
More childminders are being sought to deliver quality and flexible childcare in the region.
The initiative follows Scottish Government funding of a three-year national childminder retention and recruitment Programme that aims to grow the workforce and bring about positive change for childminding.
As well as a package of fully funded support, training and assistance through the registration process, a £750 start-up grant will be available for newly-registered childminders completing the programme to help set up their new business.
