Child Care Setting

I did my placement at the Halifax Street Children Centre & Preschool. It is for children from only months old up till five years of age, just before leaving for school. I worked in the baby room which was children under the age of two. I chose the career as in my effort to find a placement I found out that I couldn’t work in a hospital so I had to come up with something else. I have always wanted to work with children and I really like the idea of paediatrics, so that’s when I decided to try out childcares. The methods that worked best for me was to be organised and always be in contact with the company before the week. The methods that didn’t work was not asking enough questions before the placement. Some things were still a surprise when

I found that there are lots of companies offering electronic recording system like Care Docs Management System www.caredocs.co.uk , Nourish www.nourishcare.co.uk . I spent lots of time to compare the systems to find out which one will be the best. I use a demo trial for some of them or arrange the meeting with the sale representative. I choose one of the systems which I thought will be perfect for our setting. I spoke with members of staff at the team meeting about to implement electronic system recording. We held a discussion about it and staff express their cons and pros. After the discussion I found that electronic system would be not beneficial for staff and us and in fact could even extend the time of recording rather than simplify all the process. The reason for not using the electronic system

In order to run a childcare service there is a need to retain a large amount of information on each child.

Providers must maintain records, policies and procedures required for the safe and efficient management of the settings and to meet the needs of the children

Educators even in a childcare centre must keep developmental records and child progress reports in order to bring out the best in the children in their care daily. They need this documentation for a number of reasons that range from evaluating the efficiency of the centre's teaching methods to sharing detailed information with the parents about the progress of their children. A childcare centre should make record keeping an integral part of its routine to ensure that all documentation is up to date.

I have collated evidence which describes the role of the practitioner in meeting the children’s care needs. The evidence can be found in my appendix. The evidence I have collate includes the information on compliance with legal requirements , meeting needs and supporting rights of the children, working in a team with other professional’s, working with families, training and development, inclusive practice/ attitudes and values, positive environment and care of themselves( the practitioner).

There are key constituents to the daycare profession. But, the ability to remain in business will be dictated by a system that store information

I believe that in order to have a nice running daycare I am going to have to work on telling people no. No matter how much it hurts in side in order for me to be successful I am going to have to open my mouth and speak on what I believe is right. So for now on I am willing to work on this. If I don’t feel like doing something for someone or if someone wants something done at last min I am going to work on telling them no maybe next time I can help if you tell me in advance or

This child care center flourishes with creativity. The environment is molded by family orientation and the thriving of learning. The building is red brick all the way around with black roofing. The outside has a look of professionalism and welcoming to all who enter. The flowers and shrubbery change by the season and the cleanliness of the area is inviting to all visitors. Upon coming in the front door, the warmth of the lobby is immediately comforting. The art work of the children grace the walls and the smells of the kitchen indicate the chef is at work preparing the meals of the day. All classrooms are open door and to all who wish to visit, with permission of

Greenberg sets out pretty clearly how he would like childcare to be provided in the future to parents who need it. Specifically, four goals are kept in mind. The first, all people in need of childcare should have the right and ability to do so. The childcare should be a quality facility and the parents should not fear their children are being left in a harmful environment. Parents who make less than 200 percent about the poverty level will have most of their childcare paid for if not all of it. To provide this childcare, Greenberg proposes that the subsidies that the government currently provides to be changed and begin to have states match the cost of childcare in a federal-state matching formula. The federal government would be footing the majority of the bill. The end goal is have a higher quality child care system, provide free health care for low-income families and drastically reduce the cost of childcare for higher earning families.

When I was a child my parents placed my sister and I in child care centers. There was also a year when we were placed in a family day care. My parents both worked and had no other choice but to have somebody else take care of their children. I remember both good things and bad things from my time in the child care centers and family daycare. The good memories do out way the bad memories so my thoughts and feelings of leaving my three year-old child in a facility would be positive based on my personal experience as being a child who was raised in child care centers.
