NCMA v Morton Michel

[JadeS]

I'm coming to the end of my first year childminding and will now have to pay for my membership and insurance.
I have been looking at MM insurance and they are alot cheaper you now get a monthly news letters and a magazine aswell as discount at halfords,galt and others
you can get contracts and other paperwork at reasonable prices. So is there any extra benefit to being a NCMA member?

You have actually informed me JadeS, I too am considering MM public liability insurance, how much is it from them do you know?

IMO NCMA don't offer a great deal, even with contract disputes you are more or less doing it all yourself anyay IMO.

yeah, just had a lokk at their site and insurance is £40

I think the whole point of NMCA is that your associated with them and they are something parents recognise.

In the same way that B&Bs can be affiliated with the AA for example?

I think that's the point of NMCA anyway?

I have been a member of NCMA for 22 years and have now moved my insurance to MM as a protest. I don't believe that NCMA does all it can to help childminders anymore. ( From personal experieence)

It is no longer the organisation I joined and respected. I am still a member only because I get it paid for as a support minder.
