It is hard to know which childminders are actually a good fit.

Find childcare that fits your child.
Tell us what matters once. Discover registered childminders who better fit your family's needs, preferences and schedule.

The gap
Less searching. Less repeating yourself. Better fitting childcare.
Families repeat the same requirements again and again.
Useful provider information is scattered and inconsistent.
Availability can be difficult to discover when you need it.

Safety and validation
Odette is not arranging childcare yet.
This page validates interest only. It does not match families with childminders, confirm childcare, process payments or provide emergency care.
The concept is designed around registered childminders. Safeguarding, insurance and booking arrangements would need to be completed before any service launches.
No sensitive child information is requested at this stage. Please do not submit child names, dates of birth, diagnoses, NHS numbers, medical records, EHCP documents, care-plan uploads or exact home addresses.
