D2 Describe the purpose of One setting that is a different type of provision for each age range
A private nursery school for children under 5 years are run by voluntary organizations. They don’t have to follow the EYFS or national curriculum in all. They are privately owned by individual or by companies. All the children day care is required to keep children’s record. The Early years are registered with ofsted. Ofsted has the responsibilities of registering all the types of day care provision where children are left with an adult without their parents. Registration process needs owner/ managers and deputy of child day care provision must have appropriate experience and qualification. 50% of staff working in the nursery should be qualified.
A dance class for children aged between 5 & 7 years aims to get the best out of your child. Dance lessons are taught by qualified teacher. They teach different dances e.g. Ballet, Jazz, Modern, etc. This may encourage the child to express his feelings/exercises through a wide range of role play situations and experiment with setting. Children develop self-confidence and a physical awareness while gaining strength through the discipline of music and movement. Teachers put their efforts, energy and enthusiasm into your child and encourage your child to fulfill his potential in drama and dance. They teach them how to concentrate on particular things like songs, etc. All theses things give them self confidence, concentration, communication and coordination.

D5. Explain how to prepare to work in a placement with children.
B1. Explain why first impression you make in the setting are important.
We Need to find about the placement like where is it located, what bus goes there, how much time it takes to reach there. It is good idea to phone in advance and find what time to arrive, whom to meet, who is the supervisor what to wear. If not sure of the clothes we can check what dress code is appropriate. We need to attend placement days and be punctual. We need be polite and show respect to staff, children and parents. Bring any work required such as placement diaries. Show enthusiasm and willingness to learn. We will have to complete the given task on time. Get involve in the routine work and ask for help if needed. If any accidents happen inform the supervisor or any member of staff so they can put in accident record. Do research about the school on internet.
Being a positive role model Example of you asking the children to say “Please” and “Thank you”. Then you as a practitioner need to do the same. Listening to children and valuing them. Helping to establish children’s between home and school for example: liaising with parents, ask how their child has done throughout the day is an important aspect of showing positive attitudes. Helping to promote equal opportunities in my work setting for example: providing activities which both boys and girls can play with and not expecting just boys to play with them or girls.
D6 Give Two different ways in which you can show that you understand the importance of valuing each child as an individual.
Encouraging children to speak in their home language. If children are engaged in role play situation together and talking in their home language. The practitioner could then encourage children to build on this leaning by providing resources which are based around their home language. For example by providing children with Indian plastic food, if they are discussing what they eat at home this would encourage each child to feel this home language is valued and important.
Listening to children’s views and opinions will enable them to feel important and valued. Practitioners have recognized for a long time that the best way to help children to reach their potential is to ‘Listen to what they say’. Listening is what to understanding educational processes in early childhood. Listening to children can help education make sense for both the practitioner and the child, e.g. the curriculum can be greatly enriched, when children’s activities and thoughts help to slope it.
D7 Show an understanding of diversity and inclusive practice.
I believe that it is important to plan to meet the needs of both boys and girls, children with special educational needs, children who are more able, children with disabilities, children with complex health needs, children from all social, family, cultural and religious backgrounds, looked-after children, children of all ethnic groups including traveller communities, refugees and asylum seekers. In order to meet children’s diverse needs, and help all children make the best possible progress, as a practitioners provide a safe and supportive learning environment, free from harassment, in which the contribution of all children and families is valued and where racial, religious, disability and gender stereotypes and all expressions of discrimination or prejudice are challenged. Work with parents to identify learning needs and respond quickly to any are of particular difficulty. Plan opportunities that build on and extend all children’s knowledge, experiences, interests and skills and develop their self-esteem and confidence in their ability to learn; use a wide range of teaching strategies, based on children’s learning needs. Plan for each child’s individual care and learning requirements, audit how accessible these thing is for children who use wheelchairs or walking frames or who are learning English as an additional language and take action to include a wide range of children.
