NCMA’s annual membership survey for 2011 indicates that the number of childminders achieving the top two grades in their Ofsted inspection has continued to rise, with 74 per cent receiving a good or outstanding. This is a slight increase on last year’s figure of 72 per cent and a 17 per cent increase on the figure in 2009.
Catherine Farrell, NCMA’s chief executive said, ‘NCMA childminders are providing high quality care and learning for children, with 74 per cent in England achieving a good or outstanding rating in their most recent Ofsted inspection.
‘The 2011 result builds on the 72 per cent achieved last year, and the 63 per cent in 2009.’
