Now is the ideal time to get your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in shape and plan your learning for the months ahead – and try out your new online Learning Log.
A good place to start is our latest workshop ‘Building the Ambition’, which is designed to help you implement the guidance in your own childminding service.

My Learning Log
Since the launch of our new website last year, we’ve been working hard to keep improving it. And now, SCMA members can make full use of their individual online Learning Logs.
My Learning Log will help you log and track your CPD. All SCMA training (including workshops, e-Learning, Network Meetings and conferences) that you’ve taken part in will automatically be added to your Learning Log, which you can use as evidence of your continued learning and professional growth.
The interactive Learning Log also allows you to manually add your own additional learning that you’ve undertaken outwith SCMA.
Remember all learning counts towards your CPD - it’s not always about attending a training event. Adding to your Learning Log could include participating in a webinar, external courses or informal workshops, researching child development online or simply reading a childcare-related magazine article.
Login to the My Membership Dashboard to review your current Learning Log and starting adding to it.
*SCMA members will be entitled to a free SCMA workshop or e-Learning once they complete our Building the Ambition workshop.
