Welcome to NICMA
NICMA, the Northern Ireland Childminding Association, works
to support and develop registered home-based childcare.
A voluntary organisation with charitable status, NICMA provides
a range of services to support Childminders, parents
and children.
What is Childminding?
Childminding provides care and learning for children aged
between 0 – 14 years. It is normally provided
in the Childminder’s home. Childminding supports
the effective learning of children by providing opportunities
for individual attention as well as the rich learning environment
of the home and local community. Childminders operate their
own self-employed businesses under contract with parents.
