As a result you are able to nurture the children, build confidence, offer individual learning experiences, go out and about in their local area so they become familiar with their local community, have a good deal of fun, learn about the world around them, they are mixing with different age children and learning to co operate, share and communicate with them. The children in your care therefore develop and usually meet their expected Developmental Goals, something they all do at a different pace which you can cater for. You are also able to identify if this isn't happening and so speak to the parents and discuss a suitable way forward. You use Development Maters as a reference document. The children in your care should be having fun, have access to a wide variety of resources and activities and above all have fun learning. I take lots of photos to share with the parents so they can see how their child is progressing and what they do and where we go.
