Do all members of an NCMA Children Come First childminding network have to be members of NCMA?
No, but It is strongly recommended that childminders recruited to an NCMA Children Come First approved network are members of NCMA. This recommendation is endorsed by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF). Your network may have its own policy which requires every network childminder to be an NCMA member and some networks offer childmidners NCMA membership when they join so, if you’re not already a network member, talk to your network coordinator about your network’s policy.
