Islington Quality Kitemark is an Investors in Children accredited quality assurance scheme. Developed by the Islington EYDCP (Early Years Development & Childcare Partnership) and local providers, it was modelled on the renowned Sheffield Kitemark.

Quality Assurance is a way of enduring that childcare provisions and childminders are developing and achieving high standards of care and early education, that exceed the minimum standards set by OfSTED Early Years in the National Standards.
