No childminder listed in Letham yet.

A childminder provides registered childcare in their own home - looking after babies, toddlers and school-age children in a small, family-style setting.

Unlike nurseries, a childminder offers a home environment with smaller numbers, flexible hours and often a closer relationship with the children in their care - ideal for parents who want something more personal.

In Scotland, all childminders must be registered with the Care Inspectorate and their inspection reports are publicly available - always check these before making your decision.

Letham is a planned village about four miles south of Forfar, laid out in the late 18th century by George Dempster of Dunnichen to provide employment for local linen weavers.

The village green at its centre reflects its formal planned origins and several of the original weaver's cottages still stand.

It is a quiet residential community today, with Forfar a short drive for shops and services and the surrounding Angus farmland giving it a peaceful, settled atmosphere.

Angus is a council area on the east coast of Scotland, stretching from the North Sea shoreline inland through the fertile Strathmore valley to the high ground of the Angus Glens and the fringes of the Cairngorms.

Forfar is the county town and administrative centre, while Arbroath on the coast is the largest settlement - a town with deep historical significance as the place where the Declaration of Arbroath was signed in 1320.

The area divides naturally into three bands: the coastal strip with its harbours, beaches and golf links; the broad agricultural plain of Strathmore running through the middle; and the Highland glens - Clova, Prosen, Isla, Esk and Lethnot - that reach northward into the mountains.

Angus has a strong identity shaped by farming, fishing and food - the Arbroath smokie and the Forfar bridie are both nationally recognised and the soft fruit industry across the Strathmore valley has been a mainstay for generations.

Transport links include the main east coast rail line serving Arbroath, Carnoustie and Montrose, the A90 dual carriageway connecting Dundee to Aberdeen and a network of rural roads that reach into some of the most scenic and least-visited parts of Highland Scotland.
