Your Questions, Answered

Yes. Our childminders have lived experience with Type 1 Diabetes, which means they understand the daily realities, routines, and emotional side of T1D care. We know how important it is for families to feel understood, supported, and safe.

Absolutely. All our carers hold:

• CPR certification

• First Aid qualifications

• Working With Children Checks (WWCC)

Our carers are familiar with key aspects of T1D care, including glucagon administration, finger prick blood glucose checks, multiple daily injections (MDI), hypo treatment, bolusing, blood glucose level (BGL) monitoring, and support with insulin pump and CGM/sensor replacements.

We support children aged 5 to 14 years living with Type 1 Diabetes. Please contact us to discuss your child’s individual needs and how we can best support your family.

Of course. We understand how difficult it can be for parents of children with T1D to find trusted support. Whether you need a date night, time for self-care, appointments, work commitments, or simply a chance to rest, we’re here to help.

We take the time to get to know your family, your child’s routines, diabetes management plan, preferences, and any concerns you may have. We want both parents and children to feel comfortable and confident before care begins.em description
