Event description
This course is for Ofsted registered childminders, both new to the role or experienced, who would like to develop their knowledge of outdoor learning from home and out and about with minded children.
Have you ever noticed that some children are more engaged and focused when outdoors? Do your outdoor spaces motivate, inspire and engage your children’s learning?
Outdoor learning happens in the natural environments where participants can see, hear, touch and smell the real thing. Outdoor experiences readily become a stimulating source of fascination. It offers many healthy options, physically, emotionally, builds self-esteem and supports children’s style of learning as well as emotional wellbeing (yours and theirs).
During this session we will not only explore experiences for early years children but also develop your own confidence through looking at risk benefits, risk assessments, practical ideas so that you are fully armed when taking the learning and fun outside.
We will be looking at a range of outdoor opportunities and experiences that you can offer at home or when out and about.
PLEASE NOTE: We will be outside for part of the session – waterproofs are advised.
No charge for Ofsted registered South Glos childminders

For centrally funded courses, if a delegate fails to attend, or fails to cancel at least five working days prior to the start of the course, the setting will be invoiced for a no-show charge – this charge will be £30 if the course is 3 hours or less, or £50 if the course is more than 3 hours.
By booking on to any course directly run by the Early Years Team there is an assumption that you accept the terms and conditions of the no-show policy.
