Quality Assurance
The Southampton Early Years Development and Childcare Partnership is committed to raising the standard of provision for children through the promotion of Quality Assurance. There are a number of Quality Assurance schemes supported by the EYDCP - National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA), National Childminding Association (NCMA), Pre-school Learning Alliance (PLA), Southampton Flying High, and 4 Children. These schemes are recognised as meeting the criteria of the Investors in Children (IiC) standard.
