DEVIZES Childminders Group came of age last week as it celebrated its 18th birthday with a special party and a delicious cake.
Sue Jeske, chairman of the Devizes Childminders Group, said: "A lot of parents send their children to nursery schools because they think they are giving them the best start that way.
She said: "But, taking nothing away from nursery schools, childminders, because they are Ofsted inspected, can now offer the same kind of educational start that a nursery school can.
"On top of that, childminders are much more flexible. If a busy mother is delayed at work, for example, a quick call to the childminder will put their mind at ease."
