Hi, i would really like to complete this unit before christmas.

Any help is really appreciated.

I need to answer the following questions:

- Explain the effect a lack of play can have on learning

- Analyse the key features of an effective play based learning environment

- Identify the main barriers to play based learning within early years provision

- Analyse how barriers to play can be overcome

- Explain ways in which children with additional needs can participate fully in play and learning activities

- Explain how to plan a play based approach to learning for early years children

- Evaluate different materials and equipment to support play based opportunities for children in the early years

- Explain the role of an adult in supporting children’s play based learning

- Explain the principles of risk and benefit assessment pro forma for an early year setting


Thanks in advance

Hi, you'll need to study extensively for this so that you're able to draw on the knowledge gained from that research, the daily practices happening within your own workplace/placement, its policies & procedures and the early years framework for your home nation - EYFS?

Which handbook are you able to use? Unit 5 Play and learning is covered from page 235+ of this title and the index provides additional reading if for example you look up risk assessment. Pro formas offer the opportunity to capture predetermined areas of information, recording details so that minimum standards of practice are met and the setting is able to review and analyse the data when working towards best practice. The proforma risk-benefit assessment on playboard.org is a good read

Can you ask your setting for a copy of a risk assessment or record sheet to see if benefit to learning & development is something that's included on it?
