Childminder training for those who want to work smarter, not harder.

You already give so much to your setting your time, your energy, your creativity.
This training is here to give something back.
Practical tools. Real examples. Calm guidance.


Created by a working UK childminder, for childminders who want to save time, feel more confident, and stop reinventing the wheel every week.

Childminder using AI tools for planning and paperwork

The AI Interactive Workshop for Childminders

A 5‑day live course where AI does the boring bits no tech skills needed.

This workshop shows you how to use simple, safe AI tools to save hours of time each week. From planning and observations to parent communication and creative ideas, you’ll learn how to use AI in a way that supports your child‑led practice never replaces it.


You’ll walk away with:

More time in your evenings
Less paperwork stress
A calmer nervous system
Practical tools you can use immediately
Confidence using AI without feeling overwhelmed.

Why This Training Matters

Childminders are carrying more than ever — admin, planning, communication, compliance, creativity, emotional labour. This workshop is designed to lighten that load, not add to it.
You don’t need to be “techy.” You don’t need to know the jargon. You just need to be open to making your work easier.

What’s Coming Next

Not Just a Childminder is growing into a calm, supportive training space for childminders. Future sessions will focus on wellbeing, leadership, and sustainable practice — always with the same gentle, grounded approach.
For now, the AI workshop is the heart of this space. And it’s already changing the way childminders work

  • Thank you Claire for showing me how AI can help me to be a better practitioner at the same time as being kinder to myself and family. This is going to have a massive impact on my lifestyle.
