 Childminders Guide


 
Essex County Council Road Safety team produces the Childminders guide to enable childminders to introduce road safety into early years’ road safety education.
 
“As a childminder, you will be taking steps to help to protect and educate the children in your care when they are near roads. This booklet is designed to help you develop children’s awareness of the environment in which they live. Roads and traffic are such a part of their lives that we need to instill in young children the knowledge and skills needed to help them keep safe when out and about.
 
 
The involvement of parents is essential in all aspects of road safety, especially when setting clear rules for behaviour as set out in the ‘National Standards for the Regulation of Daycare and Child minding in England’. Therefore it would be useful to discuss the guidelines in this booklet with parents, which will help in reinforcing the work you do.
