Schemaplay for childminders is back! We're building off the success of the first two rounds and launching Cohort 3 and it's bigger and better than ever. We've made some changes to the content, the depth and consequently we've made changes to the impact this has on your practice.  

​

The whole programme involves 3 aspects:

​​

Training (2)_edited.jpg

Training:

It all starts with 2 live training sessions delivered online on Zoom. We run these 6:30-8:00pm to ensure it fits around your busy work day. These are recorded so you can go back and access them at any time and if you aren't able to attend live they'll be waiting for you whenever you're ready. 

Training will run on DATE & DATE. 

Coaching:

Coaching comes next. Coaching is all about putting into practice the wonderful training at your own pace. Coaching is delivered 1:1 with James via zoom. You book these in to the diary yourself at a time to suit you. We keep many evenings and weekends free just for childminders. 

Coaching is available for 12 months from the start of the programme. You can book as many sessions as you'd like during this time.. Previous childminders on average have taken 8 hours of coaching (in 30 minute sessions) - but you can have as much as you need! 

Through coaching we explore your provision, your practice and implementing the Schemaplay programme. We also explore gathering evidence towards the accreditation. 

Accreditation:

Once we've worked together to gain all required evidence it's all sent off to the Schemaplay Board for assessment. This evidence will contain anonymised observations of your children but there is incredibly flexibility of how you put this together. Some have typed observations, others have sent videos - it's your choice!

Once you've passed you'll receive a full report for future development and a certificate. If you wish you can then move towards the mastery level and receive a plaque for display (coming soon). 

Who can sign up?

Schemaplay for Childminders is designed specifically for Childminders working in the UK however would be perfect for any home-based educator working with children aged 0-5.

You do not need any prior qualifications nor tonnes of experience. We'll meet you where you're at!

This programme will run from October 2024-March 2025 and requires you to gather a lot of evidence - so it's best not to overcommit to other programmes at the same time. 

How much does it cost?

It's really important to us to make sure training is accessible for all. We know childminders operate differently to settings and so we've priced this offering with that in mind. 

The whole programme costs £240. This can be paid in one of spread over 4 months. 

This includes the training, ongoing access and as many coaching sessions as you like over the following 12 months (usually charged at £60 per hour).
