Methods of Research The methods of study involved in creating this feasibility study where interviews with centre manager, as well as the operations co-ordinator and executive in charge of the centre Martin Black. In addition research regarding the current working practices was done by observing first hand at the centre. Informal discussions were also held with all members of staff at Time 4. Present System I have broken down the present system into four sections these are the booking system, employee details and rotas, the centre user database, and filing. Employee details are kept on paper using a word processor to produce them. These are then filed in alphabetical order and kept in a filing cabinet. Rotas are produced using a scheduler produced on paper and the centre co-ordinator writes the working rota by hand on a weekly basis. Image 1 is the form used to record the rota details of the administration department. Working hours are added accordingly. The same format is used for all staff and departments. Bookings can be made by phone or by attending the centre in person. Bookings are taken after 0915 and anyone who wishes to attend a session must book at least two days in advance. The booking procedure works like as follows: Image 2 shows the booking form for one of the activities form Time 4.

The early year’s sector in the U.K. is complex, unlike many European countries it was not developed by government policy with specific aims but came about in response to families’ requirements which were based on changing economical and social factors. In the second half of the twentieth century public expenditure on early year’s provision focused on families with social needs and difficulties. Local authority day nurseries catered mainly for children who were at risk from harm mainly in deprived areas. There was early years provision available in the private sector in the form of childminders, nannies and private nurseries.
When childcare settings and anyone involved in working with children and young people come together and work in partnership with one another, the outcome can only be a positive one for both the children and young people and those providing a duty of care to a child. Working in partnership with others is important for children and young people so outcomes can be improved for children and their families through a wider range of access of different service providers and there will be more efficiency in delivering these services whilst benefiting all involved.
The range of Early Years Settings reflects on the requirements of parents and families for their children. Some parents want care for their children so that they can return to work, some may want to stay with their children while they socialise, some may want their children in a setting which offer services aimed at learning, whilst some may want their children to be in a home based environment and some families cannot afford to pay fees for provision. This is why the |Early Year’s sector has various forms of provision to meet the needs of families. Provision include
