Hi, maybe mention what the ecm outcomes are, if you use
child development plans, caf & pre assessment as ways to establish needs, the types of services that are available internally and externally.
There is a case study in the
collins handbook pg 299 that shows how a setting can design its service to meet a child's needs - recognising the importance of support in achieving positive outcomes.
It explains how Stephen, a three year old who with his family have only just moved to the area. He's been attending a local nursery/preschool for three weeks and isn't settling well. It's been observed that he is most happy playing outside and often tells staff how much he misses his pet dog. He enjoys stories being read and adult company.
The study then asks how, if you have named responsibility for him how you'd plan a activity using what you know from above to help him settle when he arrives tomorrow morning.
Things to consider are:
- Why you choose the activity
- Where it will take place
- What resources you would need
To move the service on, support and extend opportunities ..
- How could you find out more about his interests and ways to help him settle each day.
and
- What might you notice as Stephen begins to make his own choices.
