The work of PACEY has today (2 May) transferred into the Coram Group and will be known as Coram PACEY. In Wales, it will be known as Coram PACEY Cymru.

Coram PACEY has confirmed it will maintain all existing services members of PACEY received, and will continue with its hard work to reverse the decline of childminders.

According to PACEY’s website the association represented 14,000 early years providers and 50 per cent of all childminders in England and Wales.

PACEY's former chief executive, Helen Donohoe, will remain at the helm as head of Coram PACEY.

PACEY told Nursery World that it has been considering a partnership for a long time.
