child care
Three different types of settings are Statutory, Voluntary and Private sectors which aim to support children and their families.
A statutory sector in my area is a primary school for children aged 5-11 years. These services are compulsory and enacted by act of law and are funded by the UK taxes. At this age children are taught both the key stage 1 and 2 curriculum which covers Maths, English and Science in preparation for the National standards (SATS). This supports children and their families as it is a free service. They help children fit in through providing home visits. To discuss each individual child’s progress parents are invited each term to a parents evening. In addition they have further facilities provided such as coffee mornings giving a chance for parents to build an understanding.
Voluntary sectors are based on donations from the community. Barnados’s is a worldwide charity based in the UK which supports and reassures families and children. They support children and their families who have specific problems by carrying out community projects including day centres were children are looked after due to situations regarding abuse, neglect and those facing poverty where they can improve situations. Bernardos provides residential accommodations for children with disabilities.
A private nursery is a business which aims to make profit out of it. This type of setting is between 6 months up to the age of 3years. The setting opens from early morning till late evening. This supports children and their families as parent/carers can leave children in a setting at an early age and work for long hours. In addition the setting also provides suitable age appropriate activities to promote children’s learning & development. Children are also benefited from the setting as they build on their socializing skills from a young age. Children’s individual needs are further met as their routine consists of nappy changing, frequent meals, nap time and toilet
