Reinventing childminders: Why mini-daycare?

The term “childminder” is familiar to many parents, but at Nidino we have deliberately decided to replace it with the more modern term “mini daycare.” What is behind this decision and what does it mean for parents who are looking for loving and professional childcare?

The term childminder often evokes the image of a single person who looks after children in their home. At Nidino, we call this care “mini daycare” to make it clear that we go beyond individual care and offer more comprehensive, structured care in a family environment.

Our mini daycare centers not only offer loving childminder care, but also more structure and support. The childminders are trained, continuously in continuing education and offer the children a structured daily routine.

With the term mini daycare center, we not only combine professional care, but also modern standards in terms of safety, education and flexibility. Parents know that their child is not only being cared for safely but is also nurtured and in an environment that is tailored to the child's development.

While traditional daycare centers often have rigid opening hours, mini daycare centers offer flexible care, similar to a childminder, but with the benefits of a structured care facility.

Nidino goes one step further and brings together the best of both worlds: the flexibility of a childminder and the structure and professionalism of a daycare center. Find out more about our mini daycare centers and discover how we are redefining childcare.
