The bilingual exhibition, 'Communication Friendly Spaces in the Home Context', is sponsored by the Welsh Assembly Government. It celebrates the achievements of registered childminders who received specialised training in fostering children's communication skills. The project was developed by the National Childminding Association and a company specialising in effective learning environments led by Elizabeth Jarman.
Ms Jarman said, 'The key message is around viewing the environment from a child's perspective. Children have different kinds of preferred learning environments. We need to be tuning in to what these are.'
Childminder Karen Caluan took part through her local childminding network. She created a private space for children in her hallway, which soon turned into an adult-free area for free play, role play and quiet time.
