One month to go

There's just one month left in which to contribute to the Government's review of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

 

NCMA will be submitting a response to the Government and is encouraging all registered childminders to respond. You can access the consultation questions online here.

 

You could also highlight the consultation to the parents whose children attend your setting to ensure the home-based childcare workforce is well represented in the discussion.

 

NCMA's Regional Forum meetings in England will be discussing the EYFS review, and the views of members will help inform our response.

 

Susanna Dawson, NCMA's Chair and a registered childminder has said, "I would urge all of my fellow childminders to look at the review consultation and respond. This is our chance to make our opinions count. I will be responding to the consultation and will be asking for the EYFS to be kept as a statutory requirement for all childcare providers, because I believe that to remove this for registered childminders would be a real backward step."
