Childminder numbers rising

There's been an encouraging rise in number of registered childminders in England in the last quarter. Ofsted has today published data on the number of registered childcare providers between October and December 2010.

 

NCMA's Joint Chief Executive, Catherine Farrell, said "The rise in the number of registered childminders and latest evidence of their increasing professionalism is very encouraging. 

 

"NCMA is committed to improving professional development opportunities for individual childminders and to ensuring that all children and families, in all areas, can access high quality home-based childcare."
