A fifth of childminders in England have left the sector in the last three years.
Becky Hiton says her anxiety is "sky high" and that she will have to leave childminding once the government's funded hours are extendedA drastic decline in childminders could lead to a shortage of places, early years providers are warning.Some have told the BBC they are being forced to leave because of a lack of pay and appreciation.
"My families are happy with everything I offer so it would be a shame to throw it all away, but I need to keep my household running." Nikki Griffiths, who runs the group, says childminders are like "micro-nurseries" who have to follow an early years curriculum and do training in their own time, but they are sometimes not seen as professionals.
The most recent figures show there are 334,000 early-years workers, down 10,000 on the peak seen in 2019.
