Childminding practice research report
On Tuesday 9 November, NCMA attended a seminar at which NCB
presented the results of the first stage of their study into
childminding practice in England.
This comprised a survey with a random sample of childminders
across England, with particular attention paid to the five
authorities where the subsequent stages of the work will take
place: Cambridgeshire, Camden, Doncaster, Hampshire and Leicester
City.
The survey asked questions on topics including:
- characteristics of provision
- quality
- commitment to childminding
- job satisfaction
- relationship with parents
- sources of support
- knowledge/perceptions of EYFS.
