The NEW LOOK Childminding Best Practice Club toolkits contain loads of exciting new things in 2024!
Each toolkit contains a ‘My Curriculum‘ section with sequenced planning around a topic or theme. The planning is broken down into stages with information about the intent, implementation and impact (plan, do, review) of each one. This will help you deliver the ideas to children at the right level for them as well as increasing your understanding of what they already know and their next steps. There are also lots of new activity ideas and resources to help you develop and deliver your childminding early years curriculum with ease.
There is also a NEW LOOK ‘My Learning,’ section in each toolkit. Each toolkit contains a self-evaluation question along with a related training module to help you develop your own practice or gain useful business skills and tips.
The toolkits also contain more things like the ‘Under Two’s Planning pages’ which are continuing with the schemas theme from last year as well as monthly planning to help you cover any areas of learning not covered sensibly by the monthly theme.
The following will give you a good idea of what will be covered in each toolkit so that, if you wish, you can use this information to help you plan for 2024.
(Please be aware that some themes or content may be subject to change, especially in toolkits published later in the year.)
