Early Words with Childminders
Iulia Moisi; Kirsty McDonald; Elena Chamberlain
National Literacy Trust
Early Words with Childminders is a programme aiming to support the practice of childminders by providing them evidence-based activities and strategies that foster children's early language development, and confidence and skills to engage with parents. Piloted between September and December 2023, the programme provides practitioners with training and a bank of carefully designed resources that include full session plans for 6 weekly sessions, as well as advice and activity cards to facilitate parents' engagement. This report summarises findings from data collected during the pilot from a group of 11 childminders. It gives an insight into their experiences with the first iteration of Early Words for Childminders, with a focus on the feasibility of delivery in the childminders' contexts and the learning benefits for this group of practitioners. [This report delivered in partnership with Bristol & Beyond Stronger Practice Hub and Swindon Borough Council.]
