SCMA is here to help you promote your business as a quality professional childcare service. Our Childminder Search Service allows parents to find their nearest SCMA childminder and take a step towards your new partnership.
Presenting a professional approach is essential for childminders, and incorporating best practice into the terms of your business arrangements is key to a successful childminding business.
We’re here to help you be the best childminder you can be; offering you access to lots of information, guidance and resources available online, including:
Pay and Conditions: our best practice guide for contracts and all business matters.
Strong Foundations: includes a business checklist and guidance on managing your business.
Advertising Your Service?
SCMA members can advertise their service to local families for free on the SCMA website. The Childminder Search Service is a fantastic benefit of your membership, so don’t miss out.
Your Childminder Search Service profile is not created automatically when you join SCMA. Due to Data Protection regulations,
you must login and create your own profile and publish it to the website.
It’s vital you update your profile at least every six months; ensuring your details are up-to-date. If you fail to login and update your profile, it will be removed from the Childminder Search Service.
Updating your profile is particularly important if you are involved in the Making it Work scheme, as potential clients use the SCMA website to locate and contact childminders in their area.
