NCB Now: Childminders back caring and learning
Monday, January 23, 2012
Caring and learning are essential to the work of childminders and are seen as interdependent by childminders themselves, who see learning as impossible without a safe, caring environment. This is one of the findings of a research report by the NCB Research Centre.
Childminding Practice in England presents the findings of an 18-month study based on surveys, interviews and observations of childminders. It provides a unique insight into childminding practice, childminders' views on learning and development, and how they engage with the Early Years Foundation Stage.
