Join us for this live session designed especially for members, exploring what curriculum and pedagogy means within a childminding context and how to develop a framework of learning that grows naturally with the children you care for. Together we’ll consider how everyday play, routines and meaningful experiences form the heart of your curriculum and how your pedagogy brings it to life.
FREEThis two-hour live training session has been designed exclusively for Childminding UK members to explore curriculum and pedagogy in the unique context of childminding.
The first part of the session focuses on understanding and defining your curriculum, what it means for you as a childminder, how it reflects your values, and how it can evolve alongside the children in your care. Drawing on Ofsted’s Best Start in Life research, we’ll look at how the term ‘curriculum’ is used and how to confidently articulate what you already do to support children’s learning and development every day.
The second part moves into pedagogy and how you teach your curriculum content through the experiences, interactions and environments you provide. We’ll explore how childminders naturally weave learning into play, routines and real-life experiences, reassuring you that your intuitive, play-based practice continues to align with Ofsted’s expectations.
By the end of the session, you’ll feel clear and confident about how to describe your curriculum and pedagogy in ways that celebrate what makes childminding unique.
It is always so reassuring when we have the opportunity to think about how we meet the expectations of Ofsted through our unique and naturally occuring practice with children, thank you! Feedback from a previous participant of Emma's workshops.
