Star rating of 3 This assignment has been written for unit 2 of the level 3 CACHE Child Care and Education course. The evidence provided is for all of the assignment as all criteria have been attempted, however not all criteria have been met. The feedback provided shows how the criteria could be met or extended to show further knowledge and understanding, as well as to link theory to practice.

In places there is referencing of specific quotes, but in plagiarised areas there is no referencing. A bibliography has been started but it is not in full.
