An example of an adventure zone would be crazy caves, the typical age range here is 2 to 11. D3 Describe ONE (1) type of play that may take place in each setting. D7 Show an understanding of diversity and inclusive practice. D3/D7-In these settings the children will engage in various types of play. In a nursery children will engage in numerous types of play, one of those types of play is pretend play, ’Pretend play is where children talk to toys or objects and make up games using characters’ (P.Tassoni,(2007) page 160).
From 2 to 4 years a child is learning to be separated from their parents and carers for short periods of time, for example; nursery or babysitters. Some children will play in groups of 2 or 3 and will be able to share ideas. Most children of this age group may already have ‘close friends’ and will still play with both genders. Between the ages of 4 and 7 years a child should have started school and will be able to enjoy their independence although still needing comfort and reassurance. By now a good sense of self awareness (both positive and negative) will have been developed.
There is a role play areas within the classroom and in their secured outdoor play area. There are designated areas for tables and chairs where they will follow guided activities. These tables and chairs are created to accommodate the size of small children entering into school for the first time. Under the guidance of the class teacher and following the foundation phase, the children are allowed to roam freely from one area to another within their classroom space. Although their equipment and surroundings will appear big at first it soon becomes apparent just how small everything is in the lower school ( age 3-7 ) compared to the upper school ( age 7-11 ).

Teaching Assistant Level 3 Assignment 1 – L/601/1693 Understanding How Children and Young people Develop Question 1.1: Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth – 19 years: All babies, children and young people develop at a varied rate however the order in which they advance does not tend to differ. Typically children’s development would progress from: Head to Toe Inner to Outer Simple to Complex General to Specific The sequence of children’s development is divided into five different aspects: Social Development Physical Development Intellectual Development Communication and linguistic Development Emotional Development To better explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development they are categorised into the five aspects and by age: Social Development 0 - 3 Years: A baby will usually cry to seek attention; it is their way of communicating a need. Whilst growing they become attached to their parent/carer, this is known as the attachment cycle; a healthy attachment as a baby is proven to be beneficial to social skills. Infants experience instant intense emotions for example; very happy, very scared, very angry etc. By the age of nine months an infant can be wary of strangers and frequently seek their caregiver for reassurance.
Children’s ages vary from 6 weeks to 5 years old. They meet the individual needs by educating them from correct ages. Day Nurseries also meet the individual needs by having an outdoor facility for children to learn and play, encouraging exercise physical development. “Children learn to share and take turns through playing of games, etc. and to consider the needs and feelings of others” (Penny Tassoni, 2007, page 272) Finally the voluntary setting I have looked at is CHICKS.

Between the ages of 2 and 3 years the children still play on their own but doing similar activities to other children but not influenced by them, this is known as Parallel Play. Ages 3 to 4 years the children are beginning to share toys or imitate each other, being influenced by other children but still playing on their own, this is known as Associative Play. Ages 4 to 11 years have more organised play between children, with them deciding the rules, this is known as Cooperative Play. After the age of 11 children still play but are more independent of the adults around them. Even as teenagers they should be encouraged to play, to help them learn social skills they will need into adulthood.
• Youth/activity club- young people aged 11-16years. • A reception class/ks1 class in primary school. • Crèche- children up to the age of 5years. For a young child the environment is particularly important. For example, the size of the classroom and outdoor play areas, the colours of the walls, the type of furniture and flooring, the amount of light and the number of windows all influence how children learn.
Sure start has a variety of activities and services which includes stay and play groups, young parents group e.g. teenagers etc, it has a sensory room where children/parents can go if they have special needs where they can explore and develop their senses and skills. Sure start also has baby massage were they put cream on the baby and gently massage into the skin this helps relax the baby and also the parent. A statutory provision setting for children aged 5-7 years is an infant school which can be up to 4-7 years. Most infant schools follow the national curriculum as they do English, Mathematics, Science, Art and design, Technology, Geography, History, this is encouraging the child to learn and develop new learning skills.
