PACEY wants all children to experience high quality childcare and early education, helping them to have a bright future
Our mission
We support everyone involved in childcare and early education to provide high quality services, information and advice for children, their families and carers
Our values
PACEY’s values guide all its staff and volunteers in how they make decisions about the work they do to support children, families, registered childminders, nannies and nursery workers. They are:
Expert
By using latest evidence and best practice, we provide members with knowledge and information to deliver high quality care and learning to children and promote members’ views and experience to decision makers.
Supportive
By providing quality services we empower our members to grow their own professionalism and provide each other with peer support.
Accountable
By involving our members in developing our policies and plans and being open about the decisions we reach, we engage members in shaping their association.

Our support is high quality and accessible.
More practitioners, families, carers and other professionals use our support.
Our work is informed by the experiences of practitioners, children, families and carers.
We’re effective, efficient and collaborative in our work.
We’re a strong advocate for everyone involved in childcare and early years.
