Positive relationships with children and young people are essential in any childcare setting. A positive relationship with a child means that they will feel welcome and a part of the environment and therefore they will settle and be content. A child will always play and learn better when they are comfortable in their surroundings. If you have a positive relationship with a child it becomes easier to communicate with them and understand their wants and needs.

2. Explain how communication affects relationships in the work setting? To be able to care for a child in an effective way we must have a good, strong relationship with the child, their parents / carers and other professionals that may be connected to the child. This relationship is made stronger by the way in which we communicate and how good our communication is with each other. Some ways that relationships and communication are of importance in the early years are : Sharing & Gaining Information, Settling In / Establish New Relationship’s, Supporting children’s play & learning, Transitions.
The role and responsibilities of an early years practitioner pursue a number of codes of practice and declares how you conduct yourself. When working with children a number of codes of practices exist. Such as Special needs, Safeguarding children, Children's learning, Behavior, Working with parents, Data protection etc. The early years practitioner has understandable responsibilities, like: Working to the principals of the sector and codes of confidentiality, learning the needs of a child, providing a warm, welcoming and exciting atmosphere, working hand in hand with the parents and partners and last but not least working as part of a team that provides a superior service for both children and parents. The early year’s practitioner has to put the requirements of the children first, because this will help by keeping the children out of harm and keeping them protected.

We believe that children should develop a happy way of being together, that their self-respect leads to a respect for the rights and needs of other children and adults; a respect which promotes equality and values the diverse local community. We are aiming to educate the whole child by presenting a total experience for every individual, thus fostering the child’s intellectual, physical, cultural, moral and spiritual
We as Educators are well trained and passionate. We value, respect and appreciate this uniqueness. We feel children have a right to be active participants in their own learning and must be empowered to express their views and ideas. A child's opinion must be valued for its validity to their perspective and their autonomy and initiative needs to be respected. We as Educators will protect and cherish the innocence of children and thus provide a safe and secure environment.
