Hi, i saw ur other thread about not replying i nearly finished my level 4 and there is a lot of threads on here that iv posted that not been responded too so dont take it personally.
As for ur specific question not familiar with the task but with regards to settling in a child i would consider points such as : finding out likes dislikes, friendships, what the child likes to play with , ensure sense of belonging with labelled peg and drawer, encourage them to bring a familiar item from home with them stickers for leaving parent/carer,ensure settling period to reassure child parent will return making them familiar with setting toilets etc and inclusion hope im on the right track to what u need.
Whats also very important is the key person and child relationship and forming an attachment so the child is happy to stay.

How about writing how you and your setting settle in children.
Do you encourage the child to visit and spend time at the setting before they start?
Do you give a parent/carer an option to stay for all or part of a session?
Do you undertake a home visit?
Do you assign a key worker/person to a new child?
Do you encourage/suggest they bring something familar (and loved) such as a cuddly toy?
Are parents/carers given information or profile sheets to fill in , where they can list what their child likes to play with or stories they like to hear?
What do you do to settle in a new child?
Do you play with them? cuddle them? read them a story? Reassure them? Keep them busy?
Do you suggest that a parent/carer comes back for them a little earlier?
If so, do you have a room for the parent/carer to wait in? - just in case the child is immersed in play and they do not need to be collected early.

Tell the parent (if they have to or want to leave) that they can put their own mind at rest by ringing the setting any time.
Most children are normally playing happily within five minutes, so take digital photographs of them to show the parent when they come back.

Write about attachment theory and how it affects children differently.
All the above is how you help a child to settle in, how they will bond with you.
If a child chooses a particular person, let them stay with that person, don't send that person off to do snacks or something else, so that child may become distressed.

Lots of patience, love, support from colleagues and good positive behaviour all around to help a child and soon they are 'skipping' in.
It's always easier if you can put yourself in a situation - stay starting a new job or joining a club - how do you feel? what would you ike of others around you? now imagine you are 3 or 4 and dependent of others.
