Hi, if you enter
importance designing services into the
search page there are a few threads that may help.
Knowing the five positive outcome of
Every Child Matters will help support your reasoning for designing services that meets the needs of its children and young people.
Depending on your setting identify how your setting meets the needs of those involved with it.
Do you run a breakfast club, open early for parents work schedules, organise finance schemes to ease fee payment difficulties and try to ensure children's continuity of attending the setting, do you include children in planning processes - resource selection, interest based learning so the service promotes and evidences child centered practice. Are there quiet and busy times reflecting children's need for rest and activity. Does the setting work to meet the needs involved with disability, impairement, health and care routines - toileting, hand washing, indoor and outdoor access for natural and artifical light and air. Are there gross motor activities available, fine motor ones eg. can children run, jump, climb, lift, push, pull crawl, pick up, mark making, use scissors and other tools .. If you had an enquiry from a family explaining needs does the setting adapt to provide for them or apologise and turn them away ..
Hth, best wishes
can anyone help me with...the importance of designing a service that responds to the needs of the children and y.people?
