Recipes From Ghana

This may seem like a really strange request, but once again, I am preparing for another assessment at uni . Basically this one is the parents and carers module and we have to enlist the help of a parent within the setting to plan and carry out an activity which celebrates cultural diversity. Despite working in the baby unit, I feel that it would be better to carry out an activity with the pre-school children, and so I decided to carry out a cooking activity with my chosen parent. My parent is from Ghana and although willing to help, is coming up with all these very difficult recipes for the children to follow. I wanted something relatively simple though, that m…

Birth To Three Legislation

Sorry, another request... I need to find out the legislation which underpins the Birth to Three Matters Framework and despite searching for the last 2 hours, I can't come up with anything other than it is a result of the 'government's commitment to raising standards' which is all very good, but doesn't really help! I have done various Google searches, checked on the standards site and so on, but I can't seem to find what I am looking for. Maybe I'm on the right sites but just looking in the wrong places. Please help before I go mental! Thanks!

Is There Such A Thing...?

I am in the process of evaluating our training policy (yet again, I changed my mind ) for my FD assessment over the next 3 weeks, and there is a line in there that basically says, staff will be sent on courses in child care at NVQ Levels 1, 2 or 3 as appropriate. I have never heard of an NVQ Level 1 course, let alone anybody that holds a level 1, so was wondering if there was such a thing and if so, how would a person stand in terms of level of qualification within the nursery? For example, when I started in child care, a level 2 qualified person was a qualified nursery assistant and the level 3 was a senior qualified practitioner (although not necessarily a senior…

Friedrich Froebel

I have been looking at Friedrich Froebel as part of my FD and have found a quote that I quite like but I'm not sure exactly what it means! The quote is: "The purpose of education is to encourage and guide man as a conscious, thinking and perceiving being in such a way that he becomes a pure and perfect representation of that divine inner law through his own personal choice; education must show him the ways and meanings of attaining that goal. (Friedrich Froebel 1826 Die Nenschenerziehung, pp. 2)" What would you say that meant in English? . It's the 'divine inner law' bit that I'm really struggling with! Thanks!

hi. Im doing some research on legislation and provision. I've chosen to focus on how early childhood provision and social services correspond when dealing with an issue of child protection. I need to look at this in respect of recent legislation - which is the Children Act 2004 and the green paper Every Child matters. Can you tell me how (if it has) this legislation has affected any communication that practitioners have with social services? i.e are they now easier to contact? is it easier to access information? Do you feel that this legislation was necessary - why? Obviously child protection is never an easy matter, and without having gone through t…
