Goal 2

Goal 2

Quality in childcare policies, services and supporting infrastructures.

 

  • The NVCC believes that childcare policies and initiatives must be quality driven around the central tenets of child centeredness, children’s rights, universal availability, diversity and accessibility, and must always be in the best interests of children.
  • NVCC priorities are: The amendment of the 1991 Child Care Act to include school-age childcare and childminding with limited exemption of close relatives.
  • The further development of the national voluntary childcare organisations’ quality support measures.
  • An independent professional and appropriately trained inspectorate for all childcare services, which integrates health,
    education, environment and development.
  • To promote the importance of play in childcare and school-age childcare settings.
