Partnerships

NCMA works in partnership with others to help deliver quality
local childcare and early education for children and families.
Whether you work as part of a school offering extended services,
a Sure Start local programme, social inclusion project, NHS trust
or any other form of family support service, childcare will play a
part in your organisation's targets.
Because registered childminders are home-based and the vast
majority are self-employed, working with them can give you a
straightforward and practical solution to offering childcare and
family support services to your clients, and increasing the number
of childcare places and parental choice in your area.
NCMA can help you link with local childminders to offer a wide
range of services, including:
- unusual hours
- respite care
- family support
- wraparound care
- flexible placement lengths
- early education.
NCMA's consultancy services can help you identify your area
or organisation's childcare needs and help develop and deliver
solutions.
And now, NCMA has got even more support for children's centres
with our childminder engagement tool.
