Our Network

[manjay]

We have recently gained reapproval as a quality assured NCMA CCF network and our picture is in the current issue of Who Minds (minus me I might add ). We also have the full page feature on UK news focus in this months Child Care Magazine describing what we do as a group.

I know not every Network works in the same way but I have definitely benefited from being a member of ours. The training opportunities are great, we have the ability to become accredited to deliver the Foundation Phase and we have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of the children that are placed with us.

Just thought I would share

Apparently our council is one of the best for working with NCMA. I know NCMA Cymru are working hard to get them in all areas but not all councils are very receptive which is really unfair.

I have recently joined our local ncma network, so looking forward to seeing what I and my setting will gain from it.

Well done on your networks achievement

We had one in Hertfordshire, but it collapsed and unfortunately our LA feel they are to expensive to run
We would love to part of a network.

I live on the border of 2 counties and neither do them . By default I can access the training in both counties because my nearest NCMA group is over the border. Our council is quite good about training & support etc & our NCMA cymru rep is great - maybe one day we will get a network. Shame as I know a child that does not go to meithrin because of severe allergies & their parents do not think their is enough supervision & she will not be given 1 2 1 . Network minder would be great for them.
