Hi - I just wondered if anyone can help on the following question.
I'm just trying to complete the forms for accredited childminder (not getting too far - lol) - one question asks for 'examples of recent developments in childcare or childminding'.
I'm sure there must be loads but think my brain has up and ran away - any ideas anyone? Would be most grateful. :panic:
many thanks

There has been recent research into SIDS, the crb. Procedure changed recently. Peanut advice has changed recently and factors for suntan cream recomendatina has changed dye to children lacking vitamin d
Does the eyfs review come under this do you think
Don't know if this is the right sort of things, just ideas off the top if my head

I've just started completing the forms.
EYFS is under review - results in 2012. ECat - Every Child a Talker (they are pushing that in this area).
Hope that helps.

was going to say yes the EYFS review, the Inclusion Development Programme series, changign advice on baby weaning, baby bottles, now the advice on children not getting enough sun, outdoor play being so important, risk taking outdoors....

Just watched your link Alibali - factor 50 yes on a very hot day but you would think that just generally being out and about on normal days she would have got enough vit D.
