My Service to you…..

Learning and Development

Whilst your child is in my care i will:

• Keep a diary for children which can be shared between us.  I will keep you informed of what your child has eaten, achieved, naps taken, information from school and anything else i feel  important to share with you.  You can also use this to share any information with me.
• I also provide each child with a scrap book which includes observations, pictures, work samples and comments.  For children under 5 this incorporates the EYFS framework which outlines your childs learning and development.  This ensures they are participating in and learning from suitable activities and experiences specific to their individual stage of development.  I as a registered childminder can then plan and setup appropriate play, for your children.
• 2 to 3 times a year I will invite you as parents to a coffee morning / evening.  This is a chance to share any relevent information, voice any concerns and hear about how your childs progressing.  Working in partnership with parents is very important to me.
