L02-Early years care values
Ensuring the welfare of the child is paramount
The child's needs come first
A child must never be humiliated, abused or smacked
Safeguarding and child protection procedures should be in place in all settings
Keeping children safe, and maintaining a healthy and safe environment
A safeguarding procedure should be in place and all staff should be DBS checked
Staff should wear lanyards for identification
Settings should make sure fire drills and risk assessments are carried out and making sure first aiders are available
There should always be an appropriate staff-to-child ratio
Bullying policies should be in place so children know where to go when they experience bullying
Working in partnership with parents/guardians and families
Childcare environments should welcome parents by having open days/evenings so the parents can get to know the staff and see the setting
Daily diaries can be kept to keep track of any progress being made
Information sessions could be provided on different topics to help parents deal with different situations
Parents should be invited in to discuss behaviour or other issues
Encouraging children's learning and development
A range of activities should be provided
A well planned curriculum which will meet children's differing needs
Progress should be monitored so that extension activities are provided when appropriate
Feedback systems such as reward systems can motivate children's learning
Stimulating activities which will engage the children
Making sure resources are accessible for all children who use the setting
Valuing diversity
Teaching children about diversity and discrimination helps them to develop an understanding of individual differences and encourages acceptance and respect for others
Resources like books and DVDs should reflect different cultures
A range of different festivals could be celebrated with all the children
Welcome signs could be displayed in a range of different languages to reflect the diversity of service users
Meeting individual cultural, communication or mobility needs shows all children that they are valued
Ensuring equality of opportunity
Every area of the setting should be accessible to all
Activities should be accessible to everyone by using adapted resources if needed or providing one-to-one support if needed
All children should be treated fairly with no 'favourites'
Practising anti-discrimination
Using non-discriminatory language
Discriminatory comments or behaviour should be challenged to ensure they know and understand that what they have done is unacceptable
No one should be excluded due to a disability and their individual needs should be catered for
Ensuring confidentiality
Personal and private information about children, their family circumstances or progress records should be shared on a 'need to know basis'
Children's personal information should be kept secure in a locked filing cabinet or password protected computer
Confidential conversations should be held in a private room so that no one can over hear them
Working with other professionals
Sometimes practitioners or agencies that support children will need to work together
