Two children playingIf your childminder is a member of the National Childminding Association, they show commitment to their profession.

 

Quality improvement

NCMA quality improvement schemes involve rigourous assessment and go further than basic registration.

 

NCMA Quality First is for individual childminders and  NCMA Children Come First is for childminding networks.

 

Both schemes support childminders to deliver high-quality childcare, encouraging them to reflect on how they carry out their work and begin a journey of continuing professional development.
