Today (6 July 2026) charitable social enterprise and leisure operator GLL and Coram PACEY, the Professional Association of Childcare and Early Years, announce a new partnership offering discounted Better memberships to registered childminders across the UK.

The new initiative will offer Coram PACEY’s 11,000 childcare professional members a dedicated, concessionary membership to Better leisure facilities across the UK, together with further discounts of 50 per cent on any lessons or courses booked.

Recognising the important role that physical activity plays in supporting children's health and development, GLL has also extended the offer to children in the care of Coram PACEY members, who will receive a 25 per cent discount on Better’s Junior Play membership.

Joe Rham, Customer and Communities Director at GLL, said: ‘’We are delighted to be supporting Coram PACEY with the launch of this new concessionary membership. It recognises the crucial and often challenging role that childminders play, supporting working families.

“We hope that this new membership will encourage more childminders to recognise the importance of looking after their own physical and mental wellbeing and help them reap the rewards that regular physical activity offers.”

Ellyse Hinder, Membership Marketing Manager at Coram PACEY, said: “Childminders play a vital role in supporting children’s learning and development, often while balancing the demands of running their own business. This concessionary membership recognises the important contribution they make and provides greater access to opportunities that support their own health and wellbeing.”

“We are particularly pleased that the offer extends to the children in their care, helping to support childminders to further encourage active lifestyles and positive wellbeing from an early age. We look forward to seeing our members benefit from the opportunities this partnership provides.”

Coram PACEY members can access the new concessionary memberships through their member portal. Simply visit the Better page in the Member Offers section and follow the instructions via the unique link provided.

Members can also sign up in person by showing their Coram PACEY digital membership card or membership certificate as proof of eligibility.
