ROUTINE IS IMPORTANT FOR A CHILD TO FEEL SECURE IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT

Activities - Emma Durrant - Childminder - Benfleet - Essex

It is important that before I start to care for your child the planning of your child’s routine is discussed with you so that I can provide continuity on all aspects of your child’s care and incorporate their individual needs by adjusting my daily routine accordingly, if appropriate. By following the same pattern that has been established by you this will in turn help your child feel emotionally safe and secure in my care.

As a parent, you will regularly be provided with a daily ‘all about my day’ sheet detailing your child’s meals, snacks, sleep, bottle feeds, activities and resources accessed throughout the day. A variety of activities will be carried out during the day, both adult and child led, depending on the ages of the children in my care, the time of year and the weather. Children will have the opportunity to explore many new and different things, whilst also giving them time to learn to play with others and by themselves.  For example, I am aware of the many cultural festivals throughout the year. I discuss and explore these festivals with the children.

I will always encourage a child’s independency during their time in the setting. This also includes at mealtimes, where I will ask children to help set and clear the table, clearing away following any activities around the house as well as preparing bags, shoes and coats in readiness for collection.

Activities and experiences the children enjoy include: painting & drawing, baking, reading, puzzles, singing, story sacks, music & movement, crafts, learning numbers, letters & colours, playing board games, dressing up, outdoor play with water/sand, ride on vehicles, outdoor games, local parks.
