SCMA Membership
The strength of the Association lies in its belief that every member has the right to contribute and play an active part in the future of the Association through its many networks. The Association has approximately 5000 members. More than half of these members are active childminders who are part of local childminding support groups. There are also a number of corporate and other types of members who support the Association in our promotion of quality childminding.

Who Can Be A Member?
Membership is not restricted to childminders, parents of minded children, Local Authorities and Care Commission staff, in fact anyone with an interest in childminding, is welcome. However, our primary membership is made up of childminders.
