MinderHQ for Scotland
MinderHQ works to Scotland's rules from the ground up — the Care Inspectorate, Realising the Ambition, personal plans on time and the 1,140 funded hours claimed properly. So when the last child is collected, you're done too.
No card needed to start · then £19.99/month, cancel anytime · or £199.90/year (2 months free)
Built in, not bolted on
Every child needs a written personal plan within 28 days of starting, reviewed at least every six months. MinderHQ tracks both dates and quietly flags the ones falling due — no scramble before an inspection.
Tag learning moments against the eight wellbeing indicators — Safe, Healthy, Achieving, Nurtured, Active, Respected, Responsible, Included — and the Realising the Ambition lenses: interactions, experiences and spaces.
Funded ELC is paid by your council, never by parents — so MinderHQ keeps funded sessions off parent invoices and builds your monthly council claim summary at your council's sustainable rate.
Registers, accidents, medication, complaints, insurance and personal plans, grouped under the quality framework headings — your evidence together in seconds when the inspector visits.
Your CS number, PVG renewals, the January–February annual return and your notification duties — tracked as a checklist built for the Scottish regime, not England's with the names changed.
Six under 16, of whom six under 12, three not yet at primary school and one under 12 months — your own children included, with room for your certificate's own conditions.

The rest of the job
And everything every MinderHQ childminder gets: the two-tap diary and register, accident forms done while the plaster's still fresh, parent messaging, a done-for-you website with your Care Inspectorate registration front and centre, and the parent app.
A free first month, then £19.99/month, and a real person to set you up. Not for you? Cancel before your first bill and take your records with you — no hard feelings.
