1.1
The range of early years settings was not developed by the government pursuing specific aims but rather due to families requirements based on changing social and economic factors. An example of this was during the Second World War women were needed in the workforce so nurseries were set up to take care of children, when the war ended the nurseries closed. Later in the twentieth century early years provision focused on families who had social needs and difficulties. Local authority day nurseries and nursery schools catered mainly for children who were at risk of harm and tended to be based in urban and deprived areas. Other early years provision was in the private sector, eg, childminders and private nurseries. During the 1960s the playgroup movement developed as parents set up provision themselves to enable their children to play with others and learn through this play using community facilities. There is a range of early years settings as families requirements for early years settings vary greatly:
-Some parents need childcare while they work and want their children to be in a setting where they can learn and play to help their development.
-Some parents want to be there while their children socialise.
-Some parents want their children to attend a setting that is solely aimed at their child's learning.
-Some parents want their children to be in a small home-based setting.
-Some families would struggle to pay fees.

    1.1- Speech is vocalised language. It is usually learnt before the written language. In speech the symbols are not written or signed but are actual spoken language as sounds. Usually from the age of 6 weeks babies will make cooing sounds to show pleasure. They make these sounds as the mouth has not yet fully developed properly. From 6-9 months the baby will babble as if they are practising sounds. By 9-12 months the range of sounds that babies produce becomes more limited and reflects the sound used in the language they are hearing, at around 12 months babies repeatedly use one or more sounds which have a meaning for them. The number of sounds that children will need to learn depends on the language they are hearing. English has over 40 different sounds.…

Early years providers have to follow a structure of learning and development which enables children to expand their experiences and knowledge through a range of tasks and activities and develop their social behaviour through play. All registered early years providers must use the eyfs to ensure that all children receive the same structure and are given the same opportunities regardless of social background, religion etc. the eyfs work closely with parents to make sure that they are constantly informed of their child’s progress and to ensure that the equal opportunities policy is in place so that the welfare, learning and all round development of children is guaranteed and to make certain that children with special educational needs, disabilities or gifted children are given the correct encouragement to realise their own potential.…

    (Department of Justice Equality and Law Reform,1999, p.22). This act was called 1996 Childcare (preschool services regulations). The act focused on aspects of settings including adult to child ratios, equipment, first aid and the number of children enrolled in a setting. However, there were no specific criteria for aspects of quality provision such as curriculum. The act introduced inspections which would eventually enhance pre-school provision and to ensure health and safety. These inspections were mostly done by public health nurses who were unexperienced in the childcare settings. It was also stated that the members of staff in these childcare centres had to have adequate experience or an appropriate childcare qualification. Before 1997, there were no specific qualification requirements for early childhood practitioners. Since the 1990’s there has been huge growth in the sector in Ireland and now there are more than 22,000 practitioners employed in Early Childhood Education settings (Duignan, 2012). In recent times, because of funding and changes in policy, it is said that all childcare staff must have at least a level five qualification. (Share et al, 2013, p. 32) In 1998, the government wanted to help families with childcare responsibilities so the 1998 Strengthening Families for life act was introduced. Its aim was to review life as a family in Ireland and to promote continuity and stability of family life. (Hayes, 2002) A key issue was to bring about a balance between work life and family life which would strengthen families and allow them to carry out daily functions without…
