Networks

building networks together

Working together we can help to develop networks of early years settings in your area. Successful networks that we have already created on behalf of local authorities have brought the benefits of:

• Improved two-way communication between the PVI sector and its local authority
• A single point of representation
• A mechanism for consultation, dissemination of information and for supporting business development
• Developing quality by sharing advice on good childcare practice.

In addition to developing networks, we can also deliver a variety of business masterclasses to existing networks on topics such as increasing occupancy, leadership and accessing funding streams.

Service Level Agreements

helping you to achieve the right results

Through Service Level Agreements (SLAs), we can work as partners to help you deliver your childcare duties. SLAs can cover areas such as business sustainability; representation and raising levels of childcare quality. We can also offer business support to providers if you do not have a business support service available to early years settings in your area.

Membership

a small step could make a big difference

Would you like your setting to have access to all of the advice, support and discounts that come with NDNA membership? Funding membership in your area can facilitate your settings to benefit from NDNA updates on childcare practice and business development, plus working in partnership with local authorities. If you would like your local authority to benefit from NDNA membership you can join too, and benefit from a full range of services and support.
