View all badgesThis badge is awarded to Childminders who have attended the SCMA Annual Conference 2017 and can demonstrate how they will use what they have learnt at the conference to further develop and improve their practice.
The conference theme for 2017 is ‘Childminding Develops a Child’s Mind.’
A key highlight in our events calendar, our conference will be packed full of innovative and inspiring ideas. It is the only conference in Scotland developed
purely for childminders and our experts will engage with delegates on new and fun ways to explore and develop the mind of a child. Some of our workshops will be based around multi-sensory activities with practical ideas on how to use materials and your imagination to keep minded children engaged. In addition to exploring childminding issues from highly informed and
respected perspectives, there will be plenty of opportunities to network with professionals in a relaxed environment that allows you to share ideas and make connections.
