hello to everyone

[krazy kaz]

Hello everyone I am new to this particular forum and have been a registered childminder for 17 year now. I love my job and work hard to keep up with all requirements, including achieving cache level 3 - EYFS in practice course. I used the information from this course and achieved OUTSTANDING across all outcomes in november 2009.
Sites like this are valuable sources of information and full of new ideas so i may post some of mine on here. I am very creative and do lots of crafts and have oodles of ideas and ways to get it to meet the EYFS I am just not sure how to attach documents to my posts any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks Karen

hanged since you first started out.

Lots of things have changed most for the better really as they have raised standards of care no end. Some things have become challenging e.g EYFS but it is very simple really and not a lot different to what we do every day anyway, people just dont realise it.

Hi Kaz welcome.
I have been minding here in Australia for about the same time as you and have also seen massive changes here. As you say I think it is all for the better as it has raised the standards so much.
