SCMA's magazine is a 28-page publication edited specifically for a childminding readership. Pages are packed with news and current issues which will be of interest to anyone working within or alongside this childcare provision.

The magazine invites a childcare professional to contribute to each quarterly issue with child development articles. Past topics have included Outdoor Play, Communication During Early Years, Behaviour Management and Infection Control.

Bright and beautifully presented, the magazine also has a fun side – we have built up great links with companies involved in providing childcare products and equipment including toy manufacturers and publishing houses. This enables us to run competitions for our readers to win the latest top-of-the-range prizes and gifts.

Childminding magazine also features creative activities for childminders to try with their minded children and a Your Emails page which answers all types of childminding queries.
