    The UK early years sector is complex because it arose from the needs and requirements of families based on changing social and economic factors. During the Second World War nurseries were set up so women could work however after the war they were closed down. Public expenditure in the second half of the century was aimed at families with social needs and difficulties. Local authority day nurseries and nursery schools were for children at risk of harm in urban deprived areas. Apart from this early years provision was in the private sector with childminders, nannies and private nurseries regulated by 1948 Nurseries and Childminders Act and the Children’s Act 1989 and the Care Standards Act 2000. From 1960’s parents set up playgroups in village halls for their own children.…

    I being a practitioner must be accepting and fair to all children, parents and families that attend the nursery. My setting is open to all types of families, cultures, religions, disabilities and so on. We believe that our nursery is a setting that likes to include everyone as a community. For example, we have children and parents, who are physically disabled, therefore to include this family, have ramps enforced by the front of the nursery and by each and every door in the setting because we believe that everyone should be given the same equal opportunities as others. Just because someone has a physical disability causing them to be in a wheelchair, does not mean they shouldn’t have the same right as everyone else in the sense of attending…

    I did not design the lunch menu for my center; however, I serve it to my children on a daily basis. We use the CRMC food service, which has many benefits. One positive aspect is that there is no extra cost to the center, and enough food is delivered daily so that each child is served the appropriate proportions. My center works with the hospital to create a “short cycle menu,” a menu that is different everyday and repeats itself after a certain number of days, specifically a one-week cycle menu that is chosen by our director with faculty input. This cycle menu shows strengths because the children seem to enjoy a shorter cycle of fewer foods, and our director is able to control the menu to ensure that quality foods are served. The food served each day includes the food groups required for a balanced diet with whole milk. None of the meals contain potential choking hazards and all food is cut with food scissors for my age group. Each month, our center updates our allergy alert sheet, which is posted in every classroom. The staff complies to each child’s needs everyday at lunch and snack. I would not change my centers lunch menu because it promotes a healthy diet, meets their nutritional needs, and the children like it.…
