School Readiness
Our next series of webinars challenge the false view that childminders cannot help to prepare children to start school. The series is led by a former deputy-headteacher, head of EYFS, teacher of over 20 years and childminder of over 10 years, who states: Childminders have and will continue to prepare our children to start Reception classes.
