Unit 1 – An introduction to working with children
E1 – Task: Select three different types of setting from the statutory, voluntary and private sectors for children in your area.
Introduction: There are different types of childcare settings for example statutory, voluntary and private.
Statutory - This service has to be available by the government or local authorities. An example of a statutory setting in my area is Ravenstone Primary School.
Voluntary – This service is provided by organisations such as charities and most of their funding comes from donations. An example of a voluntary setting in my area is The Covent Garden Dragon Hall Trust.
Private – These are profit-making services. An example of a private setting in my area is Abacus Nursery.
E2 – Task: Give detailed information on how each setting you have selected for E1 support children and their families.
Introduction: Detailed information on how each type of setting identified in E1 supports children and their families.
Statutory: Children from the ages of 5 – 11 years can attend Ravenstone Primary School. Their aims include: “Committed to providing an education for the children of Ravenstone which will equip them for the future.
1. We will do this through providing a range of educational, physical, aesthetic and social experiences.
2. These experiences will be of high quality, grounded in high expectations.
3. They will be constantly monitored and evaluated for their effectiveness.
4. They will be provided in an atmosphere conducive to hard work and good relationships between children and between children and adults. The atmosphere will be such that quality is emphasized at all times in terms of work, behavior and ethos, relationships and the environment.” http://www.ravenstoneschool.co.uk/about/show/our_mission 04/10/2012
