Typical Activites
As a childminder, my role incorporates that of a learning and development facilitator; giving children encouragement, praise, activities and learning opportunities in a fun and friendly environment. Although most activities are planned; I take a lot of direction from the children and I like to see where an activity can take us; with there being no right and wrong ways to how an activity should be played or completed.
Resources available are an extended list; below are some of the things I would do with your child to meet their needs and requirements by OFSTED.
