NCMA workshops

Messy playAs well as the training that childminders and nannies must take as part of their registration or approval, NCMA recommends that childcare professionals continue their training throughout their career, increasing their confidence and skills and offering a better service for the families they work with.

 

NCMA puts on a number of continuous professional development (CPD) courses and one-day training sessions that can help give you new ideas and help you to extend the services you offer.

 

These sessions are usually arranged locally and might cover essential knowledge such as child protection or disability equality, or help extend your experience in areas such as messy play, baby sign language or baby massage.

 

Contact your local NCMA office to find out what types of CPD training are available in your area.

 

Your local authority, childminding group or regional childminding association may also put on training for childminders in your area.
