My Experience
I have been a Registered Childminder since 2000 .A variety of activities will be carried out during the day depending on the age of the children in my care. These include colouring, printing, reading, baking, playdough, dressing up and various craft activities
I try, where possible, to take young children and babies to Childminder drop-in sessions, toddler groups, music groups, reading sessions at the library and soft play centres.
For school age children, if parents want their child/ren to start on their homework when we get home from school. I would be happy to do this.
