Unit 15 1.1 about EYFS

[JenB]

Hi everybody,
I'm I'm trying to work ahead of my course and got stuck right at the beginning of unit 15
The question is:

How the range of early years settings reflects the scope and purpose of the sector

I just don't understand the whole question. Maybe I should take a few days break, but my tutor is coming on Tuesday and I want to hand it in to her.

All help is much appreciated :-)

theres loads of different sorts of settings like play work and childminders....why?

[JenB]

but what's the scope and purpose of the setting???
Sorry, I am not working in a nursery I am an Au pair and volunteer in a nursery twice a week but they are shut over the summer holidays so I can't ask them :-/

different people need different kinds of childcare some parents like to stay with their children while they play so use mother and toddler groups some need full or part time care because they work or go to college so use private nurseries that charge, some are able to use a creche where the work so it is convenient, some use the local playgroup because once they are 3 years old it is free so the can afford to send their child their regular in a safe and friendly environment but which follows the eyfs so they are learning at the same time some use childminders as they can provide care for parents who work unsociable hours so they can provide night care hope this helps
