Sigmund Freud
Freud believed that our unconscious minds influence the way in which we behave. He thought that our early experiences caused our later adult behaviour. We are influenced by this in our provision by being good role models for children.

This is essential to see the childcare setting as it is day in and day out. There are no false settings and the business is inspected as it would be on any other day. I believe this is very important, as the CSIW can see whether their seven aims are being met, and how well the children are being looked after.
Foundation Phase
This is the statutory curriculum for all 3-7 year olds in Wales. This curriculum is for both maintained and non-maintained settings.

From birth, it is important for practitioners to support the early years’ mathematical development. Children learn emergent maths which is a “term used to describe children construct mathematics from birth” (Geist, 2010). The Early Years Statuary Frameworks (EYFS) (Department of Education) states that maths is one of the specific areas.
In Scotland there is the Curriculum for Excellence which aims to achieve a transformation in education by providing a coherent, more flexible and enriched curriculum from 3 to 18.

Washing hands before touching food is very important as you get rid of any bacteria or dirt which could be harmful towards the child. Every staff member should be CRB checked. This makes sure they have no criminal history. And that they are safe to work with children. An admissions policy is also important almost settings operate on a ‘first come first served basis’ which means who ever applies first get a place first.
Humans process many of their thoughts by discussing them. If you have ideas, questions and opinions about your work, sharing them with colleagues helps to clarify, develop and even change the way you think and act. This process is equally true of children and young people as they learn about their world.

Early year’s education follows the Early Years Foundation Stage guidance which was simplified in September 2012 and the Government funds local
A multi-agency approach is a range of professionals including speech therapists, Special Educational Needs Co-coordinator (SENCO) , key workers or physiotherapists etc. that all work together and support children and their families in provisions that need to be made in order to support a child with special needs. Working within close partnership with parents is expected for all babies and children within the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

In this assignment I will be covering the assignment criteria for Unit 5 which is the principles underpinning the role of the practitioner working with children.
and using resources that are visual to a child will help them with number recognition and numeracy
Mental Math can be used anywhere. As a parent/guardian, bring math up in everyday conversations. For example, while driving down the road, ask the child, “We have already driven 5 miles and it takes 7 miles to get there, how many miles are left?” This can help the child improve their mental math skills and is a great way to practice math on the
