NCMA launches film
NCMA has produced a new film highlighting the
benefits of using home-based childcare.
Called Home from Home: The
Benefits of Home-based Childcare, the film shows five
childminders and speaks to the parents who use their services.
The film is available to view online and download at
www.ncmafilm.org.uk and
is accompanied by a leaflet, Home from Home: Giving Your Child the
Best Start, which also outlines how registered childminders can
offer great support for families and children.
Catherine Farrell, NCMA Joint Chief Executive
said:
"We are very excited about the new film and
leaflet, which we hope will help parents choose a home-based
childcarer. Recent research has shown that many families do not
know know what a registered childminder can offer and would welcome
more information on the benefits of home-based childcare.
"The film and accompanying leaflet are
available to download, making it easily accessible to thousands of
families and we hope that parents will use it to support them in
making childcare choices."
The film and leaflet are part of a wider
parents marketing campaign which intends to increase awareness
about registered childminders and nannies as quality childcare
choice.
