Schools, early years and childcare

Accredited childminders are able to offer free nursery places to three and four-year-olds in Medway.

National Childminding Association (NCMA) (www.ncma.org.uk) accredited childminders are trained and assessed on the foundation stage curriculum. Play and learning experiences for children are planned to cover the early learning goals to help children progress in their personal, language, social and emotional development.

They belong to a network which is inspected by Ofsted and works within the framework of the Special Educational Needs Code of Practice.
