My Summary

My Experience

Children learn best when they are healthy, safe and secure. Meeting their individual needs and having positive relationships with the adults who care for them. This is the aim of my setting and home. I will provide stimulating activities, encouragement, support and healthy meals in a warm, welcoming, safe and engaging home/setting.

Activities - under 5 years

Following the EYFS statutory framework to encourage your child’s development, I will provide engaging activities considering each child’s Schema (preferred learning style) which will include; singing, dancing, creative free play, investigatory play, sensory play, messy play, arts and crafts, sums and language, offsite outings, baking and accessing toddler group activities provided by local authorities and lots of time in the outdoors. I will ensure that every child learns effectively through playing and exploring, creativity and being active.

Every child will have a daily record of what they have experienced, what they have enjoyed, what has been a challenge for them in addition to their wellbeing comments. I will support each child’s development through the EYFS framework to encourage their individual development by observing, assessing and planning next steps.

Activities - over 5 years

For children who are being cared for before and after school, I will provide stimulating activities relevant to their age and interests. I teach children life skills such as reading, writing, mathematics, solving puzzles, cooking, IT, encourage them to learn about the World they live in through conversations and activities revolved around relevant topical world events/News. This will be in addition to supervised free play.

When providing child care in holiday time I will set out activities and outings which will be interesting and engaging for all the children in my care and promote lots of outdoor activity and offer continuation of the EYFS and curriculum.
