What's it about?

A childminder has a responsibility to promote and demonstrate a high level of professionalism when carrying out their work with children and families.

Developing an understanding of this role in supporting children’s learning and development is crucial to achieving the best start in life for every child. This course will allow the learner to consider how a nurturing, learning environment impacts on children’s play, learning and development. It will also challenge the learner to consider how they plan for progression and provide experiences for extending children’s play, learning and development in relation to their wellbeing. Learners will also consider children with additional support requirements and their role in providing an inclusive home from home environment with suitable play opportunities available for all children who attend their setting.

This course aims to give childminders the support needed to: 

  • How children learn and develop.
  • Observation and assessment as an aid to children's learning and development.
  • How to support a child and family if there are developmental concerns.
