Statutory provisions are services that have to be available by law through legislation. (Tassoni, 2007, p. 25) A primary school is an example of a statutory provision service. If you do not send your child to primary school, you could get sent to jail or finned by the government. Primary school children are usually aged from 5-11 years. They usually start Primary school aged 4 and continue this education until they’re aged 11. They follow the National Curriculum. During primary school, the children learn lots of different things. For example, they learn the alphabet, numbers, shapes and colours. The main purpose of this setting is to teach the children the main and basic things they need to make sure they make the progress they need to.
An example of a statutory provision for children under 5 would be a nursery. Someone would send their child to a nursery to ensure their child gets the education they need before they start primary school, so they don’t lag behind. They would start sometimes as young as 9 months and stay until they’re age 3-4. The main purpose for parents that send their children to pre-school is to make sure that the children get the basic skills they need to make sure they have the right start in primary school. Children attending nurseries follow the EYFS.

A private provision is owned by an individual or company and its aim is to make a profit (Beaver, 2008, pg 2). Some people that send their children to private provision are provided with funding which can help them pay for the fees.
A private nursery school for children aged under 5 years aims to provide private education that would allow the children to learn more because the education would be more efficient because the learning would be taught in smaller classes which would allow them to get the support and help if they needed it, before they go onto going to primary school or a private prep school.
