At Buttercup Lane Childminders – we have another 3 new children. What a week it has been. We cannot wait until we are firing on all cylinders – we have so many fun and exciting things planned , so we welcome <strong>Aiden, Jake and Abi </strong>to our extended family.

Buttercup Lane Childminders are commited to delivering exception child care to each and every child with in our care. We focus on each childs interests and we introduce new activities for all, keeping learning fresh and most importantly fun. We construct the “scaffolding” and we let the children use their own ideas to build their knowledge and experience everything that they need as individuals to further their development.

This week we have been on two training courses. These were very interesting and we have learnt a great deal to support our child care.

The Characteristics of Effective Learning

Autism & Aspergers Awareness

We attended a training course yesterday that was Early Years Fun Stuff linked directly to revised EYFS. We have lots of fresh and exciting ideas for fun activities that all fall into the Early Years Foundation Stage framework. We are going to introduce some of the activities into June’s activity plan and we will see how successful there are. Ask us about the new Birthday Boxes a great idea for all the children to get involved in birthday celebrations, Mini-me pegs, Book of the week & 3 item story time.

We have just finished a Safeguardling refresher update course, run by Leeds City Council, Early Years Foundation Stage & Supported by Leeds Safeguarding Children Board.

The course content was as follows :- Childminders and staff in childcare settings have an awareness of their responsibility to keep their safeguarding children knowledge up to date and how lessons learnt from serious case review can impact upon their role.

Any child, of any age, from any background, can be a victim of abuse. it is Buttercup Lane Childminders responsibilty to let the relevent professionals know and get help for any child suffering any fom of abuse as quickly as possible.
