Childminder Support

Childminder Support

Congratulations Newcastle Childminding Association


N.C.A. have supported childminders across Newcastle for the past 40 years.


They have provided:


  • Support for new childminders
  • Offered training sessions
  • A listening ear for more experienced childminders
  • Regular meetings
  • Staff to progress the development of childminding in the city
  • A toy library to supplement resources
  • A link between childminders and the local authority

The have promoted Childminding at a local, regional and national level in order to inform decision makers about what really happens in the day to day delivery of childminding services. They have taken part in a variety of consultations which has shaped the delivery of childminding. In recent times they have engaged with the delivery of the offer for 2 year olds and are keen to take on the challenge of the 30 hour offer for 3 and 4 year olds.


While the numbers of childminders working in the city has dropped in these 40 years what remains is a dedicated, well trained and well informed workforce that believe home based care is good for children.


Keep up the good work and here’s to the next 40 years!


If you are a childminder in Newcastle and would like to become more involved in the work of N.C.A. please come along to the next scheduled meeting on Wednesday 13th September 7-9pm at Newcastle Civic Centre.
