I work fulltime as a child-minder from my own home in a village on the outskirts of
Slouth City. I currently childmind ten children ranging from 2 to 11yrs old.
The children I mind all live locally and their parents all work. I provide care from 7.30 till
6.30 pm Monday to Friday. I am Ofsted registered as “good” (2009) KU3. My provision
follows the national English guidelines of Early years Foundation stage (EYFS 2008), which
came into effect in September 2008.
The EYFS (2008) follows the learning and development of children from birth to 5 years
Old. The EYFS became mandatory for all schools and early years providers who are Ofsted
registered. The EYFS has four themes:1, a unique child,2, positive relationships,3,
enabling environments ,4, learning and development.
The ethos of the EYFS ensures that children learn through play with close links with
Parents while tracking the child’s progress. It includes children with special educational
needs or disabilities or different backgrounds.
As well as the four themes of the EYFS there are also six key principals to be put into
practice which follows the child’s indivual development.
These are : personal, social and emotional development
Physical development
Knowledge and understanding of the world
Communication, language and literacy
Creative development
Problem solving, reasoning and numeracy
I have put these principals into practice by giving every child under five years old a “learning journey” book which I use to track their development when they are in my care.
