Sleep is a vital component of early childhood development, influencing cognitive function, emotional regulation, and physical health. For children under five, establishing healthy sleep patterns is essential, not only for their immediate well-being but also for long-term growth, learning, and development. Early years practitioners and childminders play a crucial role in supporting children’s sleep needs within childcare and nursery settings.

Language and communication are fundamental to a child’s development. As childminders, we have a unique opportunity to support children every day, helping them to express themselves, understand others, and build the foundations for learning and social interaction.

Thinking about how to improve your childminding setting? Leadership is key! Childminders aren’t just caregivers they are leaders, educators, and role models. Strong leadership ensures children feel safe, happy, and supported while achieving their developmental milestones. Ofsted inspections pay close attention to how childminders manage their settings, plan learning, and work with families.

Teaching children through the seasons offers an engaging and immersive way to explore the world, blending learning with play, curiosity, and creativity. Observing natural changes throughout the year helps children develop a strong understanding of time, life cycles, and the environment, while supporting their emotional, social, and cognitive growth.
