The EYFS was designed to ensure that all children-regardless of where they live, their family background or circumstances-would have access to a quality early years education. To be able to measure this and also to ensure that practitioners have a clear focus for their work, a series of outcomes is given for each area of learning. These are called the Early Learning Goals. This helps that each child can meet them by the end of their reception year.…

As a practitioner I must follow Data protection |Act 1998. It is very important when working with children, young people and parents any information they give me, I must keep it confidentiality. Parents or young children their self will give me information which must not be shared around. It is very important not to leave any important documents lying about to prevent anyone from taking any records home and prevent breach of confidentiality as a person’s friend etc. gets to see them. In my setting we got a data protection system on our computer where we store everyone’s confidential information and we will only discus information about a child to the appropriate member of staff, if I feel they are at risk or in any danger.…
The transition from home to an early years setting may start when the family visits the early years setting, or through a home visit. A home visit or a visit to the setting before a child starts there gives the staff a chance to find out what the parents are expecting from the setting. All this helps parents and children to make the transition from being at home to starting in a group setting. Parents and child often appreciate having a booklet of their own to keep and this can build into a record of the child’s time with the setting. This often helps a child to make future transitions.

The partnership between parents and carers responsibility for children’s education and development has only been recognised as important in the last forty years in this country. Before then children had no induction into school and parents were not invited in unless there was a problem or it was parents evening. Home and School were seen as two different entities and it hadn’t become apparent how much they could gain from each other. In the past children were just put on a bus if they didn’t live within walking distance and sent off to school for a full day with no integration and then sent back home on a bus back to their carers/ parents. Today things couldn’t be more different. Parents in our setting are invited to visit the school during a normal working day to see the classes in action. They have the choice of bringing their child with them to see how they react with the school. If they decide that our school is in their child’s best interest we then offer a home visit by the teacher who will be in their class. This can also involve the parent support officer for our…

Head Start edibility includes families meeting the poverty level in order to enroll their child in early readiness school.
