Commercial Advertising
Advertise on the Northamptonshire Childminding Association website and reach potential customers throughout Northamptonshire and beyond. We have 1,000 registered childminders in the county and there are over 65,000 nationwide. On average each childminder cares for 5 children so this is a huge potential market for you to reach.
Our website is also used by nannies, new parents looking for childcare, pre-schools, nurseries, schools, students - even more potential clients!
Positioning
There are two highly visible advertising slots on all NCA website pages. These can be booked either as one standard single leaderboard advert at the top of each page or one standard medium rectangle advert at the bottom right of each page. The leaderboard is the more visible of the two slots and therefore prices for this are higher.
Your advert will appear in rotation throughout the website on all pages accessed by users. We are limiting the number of adverts accepted for each slot to a maximum of 10 and you will have a one in ten view rate. Early responders will have a higher view rate until all slots are sold.
Pricing
For all adverts there is a minimum 3 month subscription period and a discounted rate of 12 months for the price of 10 if you pay annually. You can change the content of your advert at any time during the year at no additional cost.

The core principles of these codes are that advertisements should be:
- Legal, decent, honest and truthful
- Prepared with a sense of responsibility to consumers and to society
- In line with the principles of fair competition generally accepted in business
NCA will not accept advertising that is seen to be misleading or where the product or service being advertised is not clear. NCA expects brands advertising with us to have a good record on environmental and employment issues, good customer relations and to be family-friendly.
All advertising is subject to NCA’s final approval. NCA reserves the right to refuse advertising for any reason without explanation, and requires that advertising should not in the reasonable opinion of NCA be inappropriate or objectionable
