Unit 64 Outcome 1 to 6
Unit 064
Outcome 1
1. Please explain the main principles of the EYFS and also explain that by law all childcare settings have to work with this framework. How does your setting incorporate the EYFS? How is the EYFS displayed in your setting? Eg. The posters. What other guidance does your setting have? (for other local organisations) eg. Bodily awareness posters, pull-outs from Nursery World magazine?
The EYFS framework gives all professionals a set of common principles and commitments to deliver quality early education and childcare experiences to all children. As well as being the core document for all professionals working in the foundation years, the EYFS framework gives parents confidence that regardless of where they choose for their child’s early education, they can be assured that the same statutory commitments and principles will build their child’s learning and development experience.
The EYFS is given legal force through an Order and Regulations made under the Act. From September 2008 it was mandatory for all schools and early years providers in Ofsted registered settings attended by young children – that is children from birth to the end of the academic year in which a child has their fifth birthday.
In my setting, we have posters up in the entrance of the nursery about what the EYFS is, so parents/carers can read these.
2. Explain how the following points have influenced the current provision to working with children in the UK:
Montessori:
Montessori education is an educational approach developed by Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori. Montessori education is practiced in schools and nurseries worldwide, serving children from birth to eighteen years old.
Montessori education is characterized by an emphasis on independence, freedom within limits, and respect for a child’s natural psychological development.
A summary of Montessori’s ideas: • Mixed age classrooms, with classrooms for children
