Understand the import of early year’s curriculum models on the application of theoretical perspectives of children’s care, learning and development. 1.1 Outline early year’s curriculum models supporting children’s care, learning and development. Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences between birth and age 5 have a major impact on their future life.

The five outcomes are: be healthy stay safe enjoy and achieve make a positive contribution achieve economic well being The EYFS states the importance of different professionals working together and how it will help improve positive outcomes for a child in their development and learning.Sometimes observations are shared with a professional who can support the child's needs, or a child's records may be shared with other professionals who can help deliver a positive outcome for that child.Different professionals working together means every child is supported to reach their full potential and it is our duty to provide that to children in our care.It is important for all the different services working with the child share information and communicate efficiently to ensure the best support for the child. analyse how integrate working practices and multi
Some of these disabilities are caused by the parent not taking full care of themselves and the baby. When a parent or doctor notices that something is not right or that the children may have a disability intervention is needed as early as possible. Early intervention makes a big difference in a child’s life. When a parent accepts the fact that their child has a disabilities it can open up their eyes to see that there are many options available to help assist and even overcome certain disabilities. With early intervention there are many services that parents can use relating to their child’s disabilities.

Children in their early years may have a range of needs and the way that we work together as practitioners can have a positive impact on their health, development and learning. For example, a teacher may have noticed that one of the young children in the class may not respond sometimes when their name is called and they sometimes do not do their work but when they are shown what to do they carry out their work perfectly. The teacher suspects that the child may have difficulty hearing but without the help of a medical professional she would not be able to check the child’s hearing and try and find an outcome helpful to the needs of the child and vice versa. If the teacher did not pass on information to the medical representative they would not be aware of any problems. Therefore just even two agencies working together and sharing information can have a positive outcome.
2.3 Explain how theories of development and frameworks to support development influence current practice. Theories of development and frameworks to support development are incredibly important to us when working with children. They help us to understand children, how they react to things, situations, their behaviour and the way they learn. Different theories and ways of working with children have come together to provide frameworks for children’s care, such as Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) which is used within all child care settings. This encourages us to work together, help and check the development of babies, children and young people, to keep them healthy and safe.
The two most important pieces of legislation covering home-based childcare are the Children Act (2004) and the Childcare Act (2006) Children Act (2004) This influential piece of legislation arose from the Green Paper ‘Every Child Matters’ and identifies five outcomes for all children: * Be healthy * Stay safe * Enjoy and achieve * Make a positive contribution * Achieve economic well-being These outcomes should underpin all practice of a childminder. Childcare Act (2006) This Act introduced the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum into England and Wales, and place a statutory duty on the local authority to work towards ensuring the five outcomes set out in the Children Act (2004) are being met. Other relevant legislation is: Equality Act (2010) The intention of this Act is to combine the fragmented discrimination legislation, bringing together the Sex Discrimination Act (1975), Race Relations Act (1976), and DDA (1995). Promotion of equal opportunities in all settings is essential, and relevant policies and procedures should be developed, monitored and assessed. Education Act (1997) This Act incorporates all previous Acts since 1944.
The agenda aims to improve the lives of LAC holistically across the five outcomes linking to the Articles in the UNCRC (Unicef 2006a). The objective is to improve and integrate children's services, promote early intervention, provide strong leadership, bringing together different professionals in multi-disciplinary teams in order to achieve positive outcomes for children, using a matrix of specialist, targeted and universal services built around their
