At settings, the key person will have warm and affectionate bond with babies and children but they do not replace the parents and if the key person has a long term illness so two people will care for a child in the setting. The Early Years Foundation stage states that all settings must put the key person approach into practice. The key person system is someone who has a child assigned to them and has more contact than other staff members and has a relationship with the child and parents and also cater to the child’s needs by changing their nappies and answers to their needs and emotions. (3.2) Explain how babies and children learn and develop best from a basis of loving, secure relationships with carers and with key person in work settings The significance of warming and secure relationships – babies and children start to understand and make sense of the world around them by using their cry so that the parent or carer can quickly respond to their needs and also have a loving and secure relationship with the baby. These relationships are vital as in setting and home and babies that do not have a loving and
Assignment 013- Understand Partnership Working in Services for Children and Young People Task A Why is it important for children and young people that you work in partnership with the following people/groups? Parents, carers and guardians This partnership is very important because parents or carers need to trust the nursery and staff that work there. They will expect the best quality of care for their child. Partnering well with the parent or carer of the child will increase good communication including sharing important information regarding the child needs, wants and development. Building trust with parents or carers will result in them knowing that the nursery is a very good place for their child as it offers a great amount of help and support, which is especially important for new parents or carers.
For example, a bedtime story can be a cue that it’s time to go to bed. 7 to 9 Months By now, most babies have 2-3 solid naps during the daytime, that last for an hour or two. They sleep for about 8-10 hours during the night and their routine would be set. Since the baby would have started solids, he/she would be able to sleep through the night without feeling hungry. Tip Although babies start eating solids by 6 months, they may still need to be caressed while going to sleep.
Policies should be written with the child's emotional well-being at the centre. It is very important to work closely with parents/carers encouraging them to stay and to support their children and ensure that children and their families feel comfortable about being part of the school. The staff should help children to find their way around the nursery, introduce them to different areas indoors and outdoors as well as get children know and make sure they understand daily routine e.g. snack procedures, using toilets, story time, tidy up time, home time. The staff should be aware of the children’s needs, interests, what they like to play with, and provide activities which reflect their needs and interests and support children through group times.
The child may have hurt themselves and by communicating with the nursery staff they can get the help that they need. They also need to be able to communicate with you if they are having any trouble at home or even at the nursery with other children or other members of staff, so that you can try your best to help them solve these issues or atleast get them the help and support that they may need. Communication is also very important as it is a form of learning this could be helping the child understand the difference between right and wrong and the helping them gain the educational knowledge that they should be recieving while they are in your care in an nursery. Staff - Staff: Members of staff communicate with each other so that the day to day running of the nursery goes to plan, it is important to talk to each other so that you can pass important imformation about the children to all the staff in the room that need to know ie: if a child is sick and has medicine that they need to be taking or if a child has any dietry requirements etc. They also should inform eachother of any falls or accidents that the child may have had so that if you are on your break or have finished your shift then atleast the handover to the childs parent or gaurdian can be as informed as possible so that anyone in the room can tell parents if their child had a fall and what happened not just say "i do not know i was not there when it happened but i think that they may have fallen etc" this makes the whole room look
Tracking- every term the keyperson will tarck the child progress on a sheet. 1.4 Develop/implement and evaluate a plan to meet the development needs of a child or young person in your setting. 2.3 How do you implement an inclusive approach within your role and explain why it is important. In my setting we implement an inclusive approach within my personal role by continously observing children to ensure we are meeting the needs of each indiviual child. An example of this would be, there was a child that attended nursery and the child didnt like to take part in story time and looses focus, so we tried offering the child a book so the child could look
Supporting the development of new play skills After identifying what the child is trying to communicate through their behaviour we can identify what new skills the child needs to learn. E.g. unable to listen to a whole large group story but through observations we know the child is able to listen to a story in a one to one situation. We can teach the child with small steps to listen to a group story. First small step is for the child to sit with one or two other children.
Parent’s play a major part of this chapter concerned how to work with parents. Finally working with families of school age children. Attachment is a very important part of Socialization.
Resubmission : Unit 5: The principles underpinning the role of the practitioner working with children E1 The practitioner’s main responsibilities in working in a professional relationship with children in schools is making sure children are listened to and valuing their opinions. Children should feel secure and valued because it will make them feel that they have a sense of belonging and including them no matter what their race, religion, abilities, disabilities or culture is. Listening to children is an important part in a relationship with children. If a child has any worries or concerns they should be able to talk to the practitioner because if the practitioner isn’t approachable the child may be suffering and feel they have no one to
