Advantages: belonging to a large organisation that has a voice

Disadvantages: annual premium

As a childminder I feel that you cannot afford not to be a member of the NCMA.

You get:
A good, cheap , public liability insurance, which will now be included within the annual membership cost,
Member magazines - which are invaluable to keep you up to date with any news concerning childminders and any campaigns the NCMA are waging on our behalf,
Cheaper products - ie bookkeeping books,contracts, fire blankets etc etc
A legal helpline and support.
Opportunity to get other services cheaper - ie home/car insurance through other companies by giving your NCMA number.

Being Self employed can feel as if you are a bit isolated - having a national Organisation to campaign for your interests and better recognition for the work we do, can only benefit us.

It should be a must for all childminders.

A shame that the £40 odd annual premium cannot be split into smaller payments as childminders are not generally known for their wealth!
