Childcare Quality Improvement & Self Evaluation

In early years, Quality Counts.

 

Raise outcomes for your nursery children and be well-prepared for your next inspection with NDNA’s childcare quality improvement scheme, Quality Counts for nurseries.

To suit all budgets, there are two options to choose from:

  • Online audit and review
  • Certification – full accreditation

The quality improvement scheme will support you to raise your nursery inspection outcome and gain the skills to embed quality and self evaluation throughout your early years setting.

And with 97% of nurseries now judged to be good or outstanding at their latest inspection (June 2019), Quality Counts Certification, a registered certification mark, will make sure you stand out from your competitors.

Nurseries all over the world have been awarded with our Quality Counts certification; Bahrain, Dubai, Hungary and Thailand. If you’re based outside of the UK, email [email protected] for more information.
