Parents supported by the BCCN say it is a place where they can happily leave their children every day. Launched in May 2005, the BCCN is a rapidly-growing collection of childminders who are dedicated to providing individual childcare for specific needs. Children with autism and other special needs are often referred to the BCCN, as the level of care, support and friendship offered is unparalleled.
