E1 and E2- the three different types of settings which provide care and education for children in an statutory sector, voluntary sector and private sector.
Statutory sector: These have to be available for children to attend to by law without having to pay financial fee’s. This is the job of the secretary state, to make sure that the statutory services are provided and available. They are funded by the government. Examples of a statutory sector are public schools. a school can offer children friendship, life skills, an education, skills to work as a team, confidence and help develop P.I.L.E.S.
Voluntary sector: these settings are provided by organisations such as charities. They rely on most or all of their funding from donations. They are also staffed by volunteers. This setting does not make any profit and any spare income is used to make their activities more educational. An example of a voluntary sector is brownies, rainbows, guides. Voluntary setting can offer free extra curriculum, safe environment, social skills, working as a team and link to the community and indoor and outdoor fun. The age range is 5-7years old. They will help support a child’s family by organising a structured routine and if they have a job they will then be able to work late and know that their children are safe.
Private sector: An example these setting make their profits from providing their services, like a business. They are inspected to insure that the health and safety of the children is maintained. A childminder can care for children with special needs, personal hygiene, social skills and a safe and controlled environment. This will help support a family if they have a child with special needs as they can be very demanding, so this can offer the family time for a break and having time to go to work.
