Would you like to be a voluntary mystery shopper ??   Northamptonshire’s Police and Crime Commission is looking for volunteers to take part in two ‘mystery shopper’ schemes in the county.   The Best Bar None mystery shopper scheme is designed to help find the best town centre pub, rural pub and late night venue in Northamptonshire.
Volunteers need to be interested in the levels of safety and customer care offered by local pubs, clubs or bars, be impartial, aged 18 or over, have a good eye for detail, and able to spare an hour or more a fortnight and live in Northamptonshire.   The deadline to apply is Friday 12 June.

Secondly, volunteers are also needed to act as mystery shoppers to help improve services for victims across the county.   They must be interested in the quality of services offered to victims and witnesses, be able to follow an improvised script, aged 18 or over, be impartial, have an hour or more a month to spare and live in Northamptonshire.

Deadline for applications is Wednesday 17 June.

For more information on either scheme email: Commissioner@northantspcc.pnn.police.uk or alternatively visit: http://www.northantspcc.org.uk/#!/GetInvolved/13731

Northamptonshire Childminding Association

Northamptonshire Childminding Association (NCA) continues to work with schools to help meet the demand for out of school care by linking in with local childminders.

Many parents do not have access to out of school provision on site or close by and even when there is provision, some parents may still prefer home based care for their children.

Childminders can offer before and after school care, taking children to school in the morning and collecting them after school.  Most childminders are also happy to look after children during school holidays and on teacher training days, ensuring consistency and continuity. They are Ofsted registered and are inspected against the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework and Childcare Register – exactly the same as all other childcare providers. Many now offer funded early learning for 2 year olds and the free entitlement 3 and 4 year olds.

Now you’re starting to think about your new intake please see the attached letter about how we can help.
