Early intervention

NCMA has responded to Graham Allen MP's call for evidence into the Independent Review on Early Intervention Delivery.

 

Registered childminders help to contribute to children’s social and emotional development through the provision of high quality childcare and early learning. This provision can also help to prevent the intergenerational cycle of disadvantage and underachievement by helping parents to take up work or further education opportunities.

 

Childminders may also work with social services on early intervention projects to support vulnerable or disadvantaged families in times of need. This is especially the case when working as part of a childminding network, which not only supports families to access flexible childcare, but also provides a quality improvement mechanism for those childminders on the network.
