Research Project

NICMA has recently commissioned CM Works to conduct a comprehensive research project entitled “An independent assessment of parental demand for and access to childminding provision”. The research will include recommendations for government and will be published and launched.
 

As part of the research, we are hoping to consult with as many parents as possible across Northern Ireland to assess levels of demand for childminding services. We also hope to examine any potential barriers experienced by parents when accessing childminding services.
