E1&E2
Statutory services are funded and provided by the government, all services that are provided need to be set by laws and passed by parliament. E.g. Nursery Classes in Primary School. They provide a wide range of education in different subjects to children aged 3 to 5years.All the staff in the nursery will be qualified/trained at level 3 or above. The service is free as it is a Childs right to an education. They generally open from 9am-11:30am or 1pm-3pm. The child can usually only attend one of the sessions.
They aim to support children by giving the early education they need in order to be prepared for when they start primary school. Children are in small classes with children in the same age range as themselves; therefore they will build relationships with other children as well as mix with children from different backgrounds/different cultures and beliefs. They aim to support families by opening in 2 hour sessions to give families the chance to do day to day activities e.g. shopping, cleaning and even working whilst knowing their child is in a safe environment. Most Nursery classes have extended their provision to cater for working families by opening for longer hours (after school clubs). Some may also offer out of school activities and care before and after school hours and even in the holidays.
Private Settings are businesses set up independently to make a profit through fees they do not receive any funding from the government e.g. Private Day Nurseries. They provide care and early years educations for children aged between 0-5years.They are generally open between 7am-7pm for 50 weeks of the year. The services they provide would cost approximately £152-£182 per week per child. They may also offer out of school care for children aged between 5-11years.

    The statutory sector involves all the organisations that are set up, controlled and funded by the government or local authority for example: St. Anthony’s Catholic Primary School. This type of sector is funded by people who pay tax or national insurance. Another type of setting which provides care and education for children in my area is sure start children’s centre. This is a voluntary sector and they are run by organizations. This type of sector is not designed to make a profit. ‘’Money for voluntary organisations comes from a variety of sources that include donations, fund-raising, grants from central or local government, lottery grants and fees for the services they provide.’’ (Thornes 2008 pg4) The private sector is owned by an individual or company and aim to make a profit which people will pay for their child to attend such as: Burnham Montessori School.…
