They can provide childcare and give the child the opportunity to learn something new.
Government funds ensures that every child receives up to 2 years of free education, before reaching school age.

Under the National Curriculum there are 4 Key Stages to education, starting with Foundation.The curriculum for Solihull(EYFS) 2012 includes ‘Understand the world Development’,`Personal,Social and Emotional Development’, ‘Physical Development’, ‘Maths, Literacy, ‘Communication and Language ‘and ‘Expressive Arts and Designs.’ The next Key Stage is Key Stage 1, which includes years 1 and 2(Age 5 and 6 Years), then children would move up to Key Stage 2(Years 3, 4, 5, and 6) for children aged 7 to 11.

Unit 1; An introduction to working with children Section 1: E1; Describe three different types of settings which provide care and education for children in your area. A statutory service in my area is my local primary school; the government funds this type of service, by law they have to provide for children and their families. They follow the national curriculum which entails key stage 1 for years 1 – 2 and key stage 2 for years 3 – 6, the primary school caters for children from the ages of 4 – 11. ‘The role of the government is either directly to provide statutory services or to supervise them through government departments’ (Tassoni.P.2007; 331) A voluntary service in my area is my local youth club, this type of service is voluntary and funded by charities it means people don’t pay for the service but drop along. A private service in my local area is a private nursery, this means that government does not pay for anything towards it and funds are raised through the people attending.
