Coram PACEY’s festive campaign

This festive season we are asking for something that cannot be bought or wrapped. We want childminders and nannies to feel valued, respected and have their voices heard. We want families to be able to access quality childcare provision that suits their and their children’s needs. We’re asking you to tell us what is on your festive wishlist this year.  

#removetherule – Childminder funding and related children

Coram PACEY is campaigning for childminders in England to be allowed to deliver funded early education entitlements (FEEE) to children who are related to them, in the same way childminders in Wales and those working in nursery settings can. With the expansion of funded childcare in England, even more childminders, families and children are impacted by this unfair rule. Read more about our campaign and join our visual petition to help us call for this rule to be removed.

#changedalife campaign

Every day, early years and childcare professionals are supporting the most important first years of a child’s life. It is those little moments, such as giving a child emotional support or teaching them about numbers that although may seem small, have a huge impact on the development of that child and the rest of their life.

This digital campaign for local authorities aims to showcase the impact that a professional has on a child and the opportunity this sector creates to start your own business, build your skills, become part of a team and enjoy a varied and rewarding career path.

#notababysitter campaign

Our campaign #notababysitter has been created to tackle one very common myth that many parents think; that childcare providers are babysitters.

Childcare providers includes all types on providers including childminders, nannies and nursery workers and the campaign has been extended to be inclusive of all providers.

We are aiming to reach parents across the country, through local authorities, Job Centre Plus to improve awareness, education and understanding of the professionalism of providers.
