Expert-Led, CPD-Recognised Training.
I’m a Google-certified Gemini Educator and an approved CPD provider, which means this training counts as recognised professional development created specifically for UK childminders. Alongside that, I bring over 10 years of real childminding experience, so everything you learn is practical, realistic for home-based childcare settings, and designed to support planning, observations, paperwork and everyday communication across your setting.
AI Training for Childminders Who Want to Work Smarter, Not Harder.
Build your own AI assistant for planning, observations, policies and everyday paperwork even if you’ve never used AI before. This practical AI training for childminders shows how to use tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude or NotebookLM safely within UK practice to support planning, observations, policies, and everyday paperwork. Designed specifically for UK childminders working alone in home settings, the workshop focuses on saving time without losing professional voice or judgement.
Created by a working UK childminder, for childminders who want to save time, feel more confident, and stop reinventing the wheel every week.

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
What Childminders are saying about the Course and the Class…
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.
I have to say your course is too good! I’ve only got 2/3 of the way through it but it’s caused me to be on it with my social media this week which has generated 20 enquiries
Thank you so much for opening my eyes to AI and how it can really make a difference to my setting. You explained everything so well and helped me to set up a profile which was ‘me’ . Thank you for being you.
Thank you Claire!! I’ve loved this course!!! I’ve planned my winter indoor & outdoor activities for the next term tonight IN 2 MINUTES FLAT!!!! 🎉😘 I’ve printed them and them look fab!!! Oh my goodness I can feel the weight lifting off me 💖💖

COMING SOON -AI for Childminders – Part 2: Your Private Knowledge Vault.
Part 2 is for childminders who want their AI to work only from their own policies and local authority guidance.
Session Format
- Session 1 (40 Mins): Setting up your NotebookLM library and uploading your “Source of Truth” documents.
- Session 2 (30 Mins): Implementation support—making sure your library is responding exactly how you need it to.
Master NotebookLM & Create Your Personal Professional Database
You’ve built your AI Twin. Now, give it the ultimate “Brain.”
We are moving away from the open internet and into NotebookLM a private, secure space where the only “source of truth” is your own documents.
Why add Part 2 to your AI toolkit?
Zero Hallucinations: No more “AI-made-up” facts. If it’s not in your library, the AI won’t say it.
Total Privacy: A dedicated space where your local authority docs and setting policies live securely.
“Search My Setting”: Instead of searching through folders of PDFs, you just ask your library.
Is Part 2 right for Me?
Part 2 is the “Advanced Layer” for those who want:
An extra layer of safety and security.
To feel more secure in the accuracy of the information they receive.
To master NotebookLM—the world’s most powerful tool for organizing professional knowledge.
