Hi, these are a few ideas, you''ll be able to draw links with greater ease if you look at the theorists and theories that you've already studied xx
Maslow hierarchy of needs - how do you care for children's basic needs
Bowlby and Ainsworth - how do you support children's attachments in the setting - key person system? recognising the importance of parents
Gibbs - reflective theory introduces a method that enables individuals to examine their professional practices and adapt what they do so as to better the outomes when situations repeat.
Piaget - experiential learning, how do children explore, initiate and lead their own experiences in your setting?
Vygotsky - social learning theory, imitating behaviours and how adults support children's zone of proximal development - sustained shared thinking
Bandura's bobo doll experiment provides evidence that children copy aggressive behaviours without coersion or prompting. Which means adults behaviour is acutely influential. How are adults expected to behaviour and respond in the setting.
Athey builds on Jean Piaget's theories relating to schema and the ways that children make sense of their world. If you plan to support individual's interests, this theory may be being supported.
BF Skinner reward systems/positive reinforcement of 'wanted' behaviours
I hope this helps a little, if you can check to see what your assessor is expecting of you it may help with focusing on specific theories xx
