Quality Childcare
Quality within childcare service provision has many aspects to it and means different things to different services/parents. Aspects that contribute to quality within childcare services include:-
- Standard of the building
- Qualifications of Management and Staff
- Programmes/activities offered within services
- Promotion of play within services
- Policies and Procedures
- Feedback mechanism to parents etc.
LCCC assists childcare services with the above elements and for further information the National Voluntary Childcare Organisation can be consulted with.
