Early Years Learning and Development Programs
EYMP Core 1 Context and principles for early years provision
Task 1:
The government has realised in the recent years that the education of children has potential impact on their learning outcomes therefore it is important to have knowledge of the purposes and principles of the early years framework in the UK. The United Kingdom is made up of four nations which all have a slightly different approach to the planning and delivery of the early years education, as all four nations are in the early stages of working within their frameworks.
England since 2008 has introduced a statutory curriculum for all children aged 0-5 years that are being cared for and educated outside of their homes this framework applies to all child minders, after-school clubs, nurseries, pre-schools and schools regardless of how they are being funded. In addition to the education programme that is outlined by the Early Years Foundation Stage, which also includes welfare requirements.
The structure of the education programme in England which includes six areas of learning that practitioners must plan for are:
Communication, Language and Literacy,
Problem solving, Reasoning and Numeracy,
Knowledge and Understanding of the World,
Physical Development,
Creative Development
Personal, Social and Emotional Development.
Assessments are completed on children at the end of their reception year, and the teacher completes an early years profile which consists of thirteen different scales which are linked to the early learning goals from each of the areas of learning.
Each of the four countries has developed guidance to support the implementation of the national frameworks which gives information about the statutory elements and training materials.
The Early Years Foundation Stage for the statutory framework is mandatory for all early years providers from the 1st September 2012 which includes maintained schools, non-maintained schools, independent schools and all providers on the Early Years
