The National Childminding Association of England and Wales (NCMA), a membership organisation and national charity, promotes quality home-based childcare for the benefit of children, families and communities.
It already speaks on behalf of the 75,000 registered childminders in England and Wales and, with a membership package for nannies and other home-based childcarers, increasingly for home-based childcare in England and Wales.
NCMA has been supporting the development of quality home-based childcare and promoting its benefits since 1977.
