1. The individual needs of the children and the age and ability of the children- when planning a activity you must think about this as children of a young age cannot do the same as a older child so more consideration has to be given.

My first priority is to keep the environment safe to reduce injures. I will take my responsibility very seriously and make sure that there is no child injures at the center. I will make sure that there is no infant left unattended on a changing table. Young infants are only allowed to sleep in their cribs. Not in the car safety seat, bouncy seat, or any other equipment that is not safety approved. Cribs in our facility will be free of blankets, toys and other soft materials that could cause suffocation. All of our facility toys will be large enough to prevent infants from trying to eat or swallow objects that could cause choking. On a daily basis, all toys and equipment will be inspected to make sure they are safe and in working order. Broken toys, chipped wall paint, loose nuts and bolts or splinters from wooden furniture will not be acceptable at any time. All electrical cords and wires in my facility will be tied and out of sight to prevent children from tripping and falling. All of our unused electrical outlets will be covered by safety devices to prevent children from placing objects into the sockets. Last but not least, safety rules and guidelines will constantly be preached and practiced by our children.…

1.1 There are many factors that have to be taken into account when planning healthy and safe indoor and outdoor environments and services. It is essential to start the planning thinking about the childs needs. The age and development of their children must also be taken into account. If babies are being looked after they will need to be cared for in a a warmer room than 5year olds. Babies would need nappy changing facilities and some cots. Outdoor areas would need to be planned to suit an older child’s needs with regards to If children have a disability or a sensory impairment they should still be able to have full access to the available activites. This may mean sometimes that the layout of the environment or the equipment may need adapting to suit the childs needs. The needs of Parents/carers should also be recognised. If there is an illness going around the setting which may affect a family member of the child there should be a notice put up to inform everybody of this. If there is a case of headlice a letter should be sent out so parents/carers can maintain their family’s health. There are not many settings that are purpose built for childcare, there are many playgroups and crèche services that share their premises with other organisations. Planning should take into account the way in which the setting should function as a safe, healthy environment for children and young people. When planning the main thing to plan for is children and young peoples health and safety. Practitioners who work with children have a duty of care towards them. Within a setting all people have a responsibility for the health and safety of children and young people. So all staff members know to whom report and be accountable for a ‘line of responsibilty’ should be made clear to everybody within the…

To determine if an early childhood program is high quality or not depends on several qualities. One important quality is the physical setting the indoor environment must be clean in good repair and well ventilated. Un-sanitized environment can lead to the spread of germs and viruses making it easier for children to become sickly or ill. Classroom space must be divided into richly equipped activity areas, including but not limited to make believe play, blocks, science, math, games, puzzles, books, art and music. Children enjoy learning about a subject more when there is a lot of information dedicated to one particular subject. It also becomes easier to divide the children into groups and have certain groups at certain stations switching periodically. For example the teacher or instructor may say, “Red group you are at the math station today, Blue group you have computer lab today”, etc... Children must also get outside time, as physical education is equally important as developing the mind. The facility should be equipped with, but not limited to, fenced area for outdoor play, swings, climbing equipment, tricycles and a jungle gym.…
