Hi all
I'm in process of registering and feel confident with what I will be doing with kids under eyfs. But I'm unsure what I'd do if I have to mind schoolkids after school. I haven't done my cypop5 yet so maybe this will be discussed on that course but if not would appreciate any advice. Is it expected that the school meets those kids educational needs so my main role is occupying them or do I need to be helping them to progress in someway. I love the eyfs and dev matters how it really spells out what kids need to be working on. So I feel a bit lost as to what to do for when kids are older. I was thinking lego, board games helping with homework letting them play on climbing frame swings outside etc. Which I can see developmental benefits of these activities is this enough or should I be providing long division or something lol? (Do kids still do long division even lol)Or is it something I would establish with the parents what they would like me to be doing?
Sorry I realise I must sound a bit silly with these questions lol.
