My Summary

Kelly’s Chilldminding

My Experience

I have over 20 years experiences with working with children from birth to 11 years. This experience has been within many different settings, nursery setting, family center, Private nursery.

I aim to create a safe, fun, caring, homely environment for children to play, learn and develop.

The Children experience an extensive range of learning and approaches. The context for learning is challenging, enjoyable and includes creative and investigative activities.

The children engage confidently in such activities, and are prepared to risk making mistakes because they understand that they can learn from them. Through these activities they develop skills for learning, skills for life and skills for work.

Toys/equipment and activities that I provide, encourage the children to develop new skills and concepts in the course of play and exploration. Painting, sand, water tray, play dough, messy play materials, mark making equipment, music and movement, small word play, treasure baskets, outdoor play are just a few of the activities that the children participate in.

Some of these activities are carefully planned but others happen spontaneously a rising from situations which crop up as the day unfolds. I use these opportunities to give the children the time and space to work things out themselves.

I use many things around my home/community to extend the children’s development in all areas of the EYFS. The children’s individual needs and interests are used to plan play opportunities for each individual child’s learning and development.

Children attend many activities in the morning, toddler sessions, childminder drop in play sessions, messy play sessions, story sessions, music and movement sessions.

All children in my care follow the Early Years Foundation Stage, with planned activities to meet all areas of development, and have individual Early years foundation play plans.

Children have individual learning journals which are regularly reviewed and new targets/steps implemented ensuring childrens development progression. Photographs craft work, and other childrens personal achievements recorded.
Termly themes:- Child lead, developing each individual child's interests, linked to EYFS

All snacks and meals are healthy and home cooked where ever possible.
