About this event

Join fellow childminders for a supportive, practical, and empowering network meet-up focused on supervision in the EYFS.

Childminders are legally required to have appropriate supervision arrangements in place for themselves and any assistants they employ. This supervision is crucial for supporting practitioners, promoting children's well-being, and ensuring effective practice.

This interactive session will explore effective approaches to supervision, safeguarding responsibilities, and how collaborative practice can enhance outcomes for children.

We’ll unpack key elements of supervision, discuss real-life scenarios, and share strategies that align with statutory requirements, while celebrating the unique strengths of childminder-led learning environments.

Whether you're newly registered or seasoned in the field, you'll find insights and connections that matter.
