Child Care and Education Unit 1
Unit 1 assignment- an introduction to children
E1+E2- There are many types of Early Year’s settings, and one of them is called a statutory setting. A statutory setting is a setting that is funded by the government and is usually law. An example of a statutory setting would be a primary school. Primary schools follow the national curriculum and the children learn key stage one and two. It is the law to go to this type of setting from the age of five. According to Minett P. (2010) page 240(E8) says Education in Britain is compulsory from the age of 5 years. Children are legally required to attend school full-time from the beginning of the term after their fifth birthday or to receive suitable education elsewhere, for example to be educated at home. Some schools take them earlier, either full time or part time. This supports my description of a statutory setting.
The setting does not only support the child with their education, but how they develop. The setting will observe the child and compare to milestones. It will also provide care and nurture for the children in whatever the need. Parents are also a very important factor for the settings and they will try to support the parents as much 1as possible. They may do this by talking to the parents about the child through verbal communication or reports. This will help the parents trust the setting and feel more comfortable about the child going here for any period of time.
Another Early Year’s setting would be called a private setting. There are many different types of private settings including; private nurseries, nursery schools and day nurseries. For these settings to be legal, they have to be inspected, registered and use the current Early Year’s Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework. However, these differ from statutory settings because parents have to pay to send their child here, but may be able to get financial support through government schemes.
This setting is very similar to statutory as
