Client case study (client A)
My placement was at a nursery, which cares for children aged three months to four years. The nursery can care for six children aged 3 months to two years at one time, in addition to this they can care for fifty children aged two to four years at one time. The children could stay between seven thirty and five o clock. There parents had the option to leave them for half or a full day.
Client A has been at the nursery for two months and is two years old. She is showing signs that she may have severe behavioural problems. She finds it hard to sit or concentrate for any period of time. She also does not pay any attention when she is being spoken to, and shows regular disruptive behaviour such as screaming she is also very reluctant to join in the class activities. Client A also has very limited understanding of her surroundings and what is happening around her. She also has not yet used speech but occasionally will make sounds. She has a brother aged three who is developing at a normal rate for his age and is not showing signs of any problems. Because she is now two clients A should be in the nursery with the other children aged two plus, but because of her behaviour the staff decided that not too put her in nursery as this may be to stressful for her at this time, as she was having problems with the other children.
