Children's future aspirations

large NCMW logoNCMA has launched research into children’s aspirations today. Many registered childminders and nannies are celebrating the work they do to encourage children’s aspirations.

 

Melanie Atkinson from Ipswich said "as a registered childminder I am delighted to be able to offer my services to parents and children, from my own home and am excited about the future and pleased that my aspirations to work with children have been achieved through hard work, dedication and support from friends and family.

 

"I will be celebrating with the children in my care by giving them a chance to see what their own parents have achieved and discuss what their aspirations are and how we can work together to help them achieve their goals."

 

National Childminding Week runs from 4-11 June. This year’s theme is Aspiration, and during the week NCMA will be highlighting the great work registered childminders and nannies do in helping children to consider their future aspirations.

 

The week will also celebrate the aspirations of registered childminders and nannies in increasing their professional development and future career opportunities.
