Nvq 3 Unit 302 - All
Unit 302. 1.1
Summarise entitlement and provision for early years.
In 2006 all 3/4 year olds were entitled to up to 12.5 hours a week during term time free early years education. This was increased to 15 hours a week in September 2011.
There are free pre-schools which are run by the local authorities that children can attend for 3 hours a day once they have turned 3 or if children are already in a day nursery then they will have 15 hours a week deducted off their bill the term after the child turns 3. The day nursery has to follow the strict guidelines set out by Every Child Matters and Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum as do the local authority pre-schools.
The main aim for the early years settings is for children to learn through play and to start to form friendships and social skills that they need later in life.
Children should be allowed to practice mark making without the pressure to write and to role playing is encouraged to help bring out their personalities.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) starts from the age of 3 and continues up to the end of reception class in school.
