Have you ever tried to list
all the different types of
childcare and early
years settings that are on
offer to parents? There
are many kinds and they
may be run in many different
ways, from a church hall
at the end of the
road to a large private nursery
chain that has several different
around the country. If you
branches
are going be working with
young children, you
will need to know about
and understand the differences
between what is
available. This chapter is
about the main types of
settings that provide
childcare and education
for young children, and
what provision may be
available in your area.
1.1 Describe the main
types of settings availabl
e
for children (D1 C1)
Early years settings may
be funded and run by local
authorities, voluntary
organisations or private
companies, and will offer
a range of different
childcare approaches. Some
may be small and run by
charities and voluntary
organisations, whilst others
may be private and part
of a national chain that
is run for profit. As you start
to think about a career in
working with children,
you may find the amount
of different settings confusing.
Make sure you
know and understand what
is available so that you are
aware of some of the
differences as well as what
these settings have in common.
Early years settings may
or may not need to be registered
and inspected by
Ofsted, depending on how
they are run and staffed.
