Attend a research launch
Childminding Practice in England Seminar

Tuesday 9 November 2010, 2.00 to 5.00pm, National Children’s Bureau



The NCB Research Centre is hosting a seminar to launch the initial survey findings from our Esmee Fairbairn Foundation-funded study, Childminding Practice in England. NCMA is a partner in this work.



The aim of the seminar is to provide the latest evidence on childminding practice in England to inform future practice and policy, including the role of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) for childminders.



In addition to the survey findings, the seminar will also include a presentation by one of the authors of a recently published Department for Education (DfE) study on childminders’ experiences of the EYFS. The full programme is below.



The seminar will be held at the National Children’s Bureau, 8 Wakley Street, London EC1V 7QE. If you are interested in attending, please contact Helen Burton at NCB on hburton@ncb.org.uk or 020 7833 6841.
