This is a re occurring meetings on the 3rd Saturday of each month.
The aim of the Liverpool City region and Beyond Stronger Practice Hub Childminder Forum is to gauge if there is a need which as some childminders are isolated with limited or no networks in their LAs. We aim to initially give some case studies from childminders and share how the Liverpool City Region and Beyond Early Years Stronger Practice Hub has supported them over the last 12 months, plus give any national updates, share what CPD we have and share the EEF and DFE funded interventions.

If you attend a drop in or meet up with other childminders across the Liverpool City Region and Beyond area, please let us know so we can advertise, allowing local childminder colleagues to attend, join in and network.

CHILDMINDER RESOURCE BAGS

Calling all SPH Network Members….. FREE Resource bags coming soon, funded by the SPH this is a fantastic opportunity for Childminders.

Each bag of carefully selected items will be a welcome addition to your setting which in turn supports your children’s development.

Each resource bag is designed to be used individually, with a group of childminder colleagues and shared as a lending library.

In the next few weeks you can apply for resources that cover Communication and Language, Early Maths and Story Comprehension including a selection of various quality Story Sacks.
