How can parents check childminders?

Parents can check a childminder's registration status and inspection reports on the Care Inspectorate's website. If they have concerns, like the parents in Dunfermline, they can report them directly to the Care Inspectorate. This body is responsible for investigating complaints and taking action to ensure children's safety.
