Join us with your children for an engaging Mini Science session, where childminders can participate in modelled, evidence-informed approaches that support children's learning and development across the EYFS framework.
Through open-ended scientific resources and hands-on exploration, children are encouraged to investigate, question and discover, fostering a sense of awe and wonder about the world around them. Each session is centred around an exciting theme, from space and transport to oceans, seasons and much-loved stories, creating rich opportunities for communication, language and learning.
Children will develop:
- Communication and language through sustained interactions, questioning and introducing ambitious vocabulary
- Early literacy skills through story-linked investigations, conversations and imaginative play
- Understanding of the world through exploration, experimentation and scientific thinking
- Personal, social and emotional development through confidence-building, independence and collaborative play
- Physical development through hands-on sensory and exploratory experiences
Designed specifically for childminders, these sessions provide practical ideas and strategies that can be easily transferred into home-based settings. Observe how simple, open-ended resources can be used to create meaningful learning experiences that support key components of child development while following children's interests and curiosity.
Messy, meaningful and full of discovery, Mini Science demonstrates how high-quality playful experiences can inspire a lifelong love of learning. 🔬✨🌎
