Activities:
I carry out many activities with the children. The local beach is situated very close to my home so we visit there a lot during the nice weather. Aswell as activities which are carried out at home, I regularly attend weekly toddler groups and childminder drop-in sessions at local Childrens Centres.
Some of the activities we do together are:
Painting
Play doh
Sticking and gluing
Junk modelling
Cooking
Reading
Puzzles
Colouring and writing
We have a large climbing frame, swing, outside play house, bouncy castle, activity tunnel, paddling pool, water/sand table and bats and balls in the garden.
We grow our own fruit and vegetables and the children are encouraged to pick them and taste.
I carry out activities associated with the Early Years Foundation Stage (“EYFS”) which encourages children’s development and learning for Under 5’s.
I also subscribe to an online system called Baby Days which you can download a free app on your phone or tablet. Babies and preschool children will get a daily diary through the system for you to read on the days. Food/nappies and activities and all photos taken can be accessed through this system for all age children. You will also receive monthly invoices on the same system.
