Vaules and Principles That Underpin the Childcare Sector
The values and principles that underpin the childcare sector work along side the laws, rules and regulations that I follow in my everyday work at my setting. They govern things such as how many children can attend my setting, how many staff I have working each day, making sure that the children’s wants and needs are met and that they are always the main focus of any planning I do. For myself it means that I have to always make sure that I keep myself up to date with any changes in these laws and regulations and that I keep myself up to date with any training so I can always provide the best possible care I can. When planning I try to use many different curriculum’s but always making sure that they are flexible and is based upon the values which nurture and encourage the children as individuals. The main framework I follow is based on the foundation phase covering seven different areas these are
• Personal and Social Development, Well-being and Cultural Diversity.
• Language, literacy and communication Skills.
• Mathematical Development.
• Knowledge and Understanding of the World.
• Physical Development.
• Creative Development.
• Welsh Language Development
Each of these areas allow me to make sure that every child is cared for according to their individual needs as well as the needs of the group, also they are used in the nursery setting in which most of my child will attend, I find that this helps them make an easier transition between the settings.
These values and principles are implemented in my setting by us being registered with the CSSIW whose regulations we follow and they come and inspect the setting every three years. We treat each child as an individual and meet each of their needs as such. I work by using praise as a way of making the child understand when they have done something that they should feel proud of, this helps build up their self esteem. Each child has a chance of free play daily, this allows them to move around the setting playing
