Bracknell Forest Children’s Centres The Alders and Chestnuts Children’s Centre Childminding Play Together We would like to offer all childminders from Sandhurst and Crowthorne area the use of our family room at the Alders Children Centre, giving you the chance to meet up with other childminders in your local area. Childminders can ring on a Monday morning to check if there is a room free anytime that week. We cannot guarantee the room will be free to use every week as our sessions will take priority.
