This course is for all childminders who want to develop their understanding of mathematics and how to use mathematical language to support children’s mathematical learning at home and when out and about. We will focus on maths within early years.
“Learning maths is an adventure into the unknown. The ideas we adults take for granted are a wild, unexplored country to our children.”
Gaskins, D
Are you struggling with ideas to support Maths in your home and when out and about? Would you like to find out more about maths but wonder how you can extend children’s development through your resources? Don’t panic! You are not alone. Mathematics is often the most challenging area for all practitioners to observe, assess and plan for.
As a childminder you can make a real difference to ensure every child has a chance to become a confident learner and user of mathematics. This workshop will give you confidence to use mathematical language which can ‘significantly increase children’s growth in understanding mathematical concepts’ (Klibanoff 2006).
We will help you in understanding that maths is everywhere and we will consider ideas which you can easily replicate in the home, exploring all aspects of this area of learning from Number, Space, Shapes and Measure, and storytelling to stimulate their thinking and enrich their learning.

Please note you have to do this training programme in order.
South Gloucestershire Council has launched a new interactive training programme that gives Health and Social Care Workers the skills, knowledge, confidence and practice to apply and comply with the Mental Capacity Act 2005. The programme is made up of interactive learning workshops. The new skills and knowledge gained from the workshops are then applied in the workplace and you will send us evidence. You'll be given feedback as you acheive the required good practice and compliance standard of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. The programme is designed for Care Provider managers, Social Worker and Occupational Therapy staff and managers, nurses and all other professionals working in health and social care. You can select from a series of modules as relevant to your job which are listed below.
How the programme works -
You attend a module workshop
You then submit evidence of what you have learned in the workplace (usually within six weeks)
You receive feedback which may be shared with your employer.

We want to help you and your organisation to better understand, and meet the needs of service users who come from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. It is intended that this training will give you an insight into a sample of the Black and Minority Ethnic communities and Faith and Belief communities which make up our diverse city.
There will be an opportunity to visit places of religious significance and to ask questions to community representatives about what particular issues mean in those communities. The facilitators have been briefed in the areas that are of interest to you and they will give you a ‘grassroots’ perspective.
There will be opportunities to ask questions at each of the 5 sessions.
Please bear in mind there will be a dress code for visiting places of worship.
