Supporting children’s learning environment
Part 1
E100 Ethical Statement
I confirm that in this assignment I have only used material drawn from the setting identified on my employers Permission Agreement Form.
In this assignment I have adhered to the E100 ethical guidance by:
• Changing all names within the assignment (the setting, children, parents and colleagues) so that the individuals cannot be identified.
• Sending out a letter informing parents about my studies and providing them with the opportunity to ask any questions about what I was doing.
• Explaining to parents why I wanted to observe their child for particular activities and gaining their informed consent.
• Explaining to children what I was doing and why, and asking them if they were happy for me to observe them to gain their assent.
• Explaining to children and parents that they have the right to withdraw at any stage thought-out the process.
Introduction
Set in rural East Devon, my setting benefits from an expanse of playfield area available to us and a secure park area that further promotes physical development of climbing, jumping, sliding and much more. Within my day nursery, we work within three rooms deploying staff and activities according to children’s needs, interest’s and planning. We have an outstanding outdoor provision attached to our setting that we free flow between allowing children to extend their learning to the outdoors.
The main room encompasses the majority of our resources, is light, airy and enabling providing children with varied opportunities to explore and investigate whilst engaged in play. Our smaller sensory/ heuristic room is tranquil, calm and soothing, contains natural tactile resources, treasure baskets and heuristic play bags children can manipulate, examine and explore. Soft lighting, calming music and a softly non- intrusive approach compliments the learning sustained within this room.
