About CCF
NCMA Children Come First is a quality improvement scheme for childminding networks. Over two-thirds of the childminding networks have chosen to become quality-assured by NCMA Children Come First because it's:
- the only quality improvement scheme for childminding networks recognised across England and Wales.
- well recognised across the childcare sector.
- the only scheme which enables networks to accredit childminders to offer early years education to 3- and 4-year-olds.
- designed especially for childminding networks and childminders.
- developed to give networks a strong working framework, which encourages them to plan for the future.
