The Northern Ireland Childminding association has submitted its response to the draft Budget and programme for Government
NICMA was greatly heartened by the importance attached to childcare in the manifestos of all the main political parties produced for the recent Assembly election, however, it is surprised and dismayed at the lack of any mention of childcare in the Draft Programme for Government (PfG) and the accompanying Public Service Agreement (PSA) Framework.

NICMA submission
Given that childminding is the most popular and affordable form of full-time childcare, NICMA believes that improving the provision of childminding must be a fundamental element of any strategy on childcare. NICMA has developed a cost-effective proposal aimed at achieving just this objective.
