Therefore I will be evaluating my previous work arrest from Level 5.The Child Care Act 1991 is ace of the to the highest gradation important and panoptic piece of legislation, in relation to the care of children. And e veryone who is working with children have a legal obligation to adhere to this Legislation and every childcare setting is requisite to keep a copy of it at their premises and cater should consult and be familiar with roles and responsibilities stated in the Act. Childs rights are the maiden Standard in Sioltas Guidelines and my workplace imple ments it by offering children choices and uses their interest and initiative to get into in their own development and learning. Another example of promoting childrens rights is that it is now written in the Irish constitution after Referendum on childrens rights were held thanks to UNCRC (United Nation Convention on the Rights of the Child) which is ratified by most countries, except USA, Somalia, South SudanThe setting is privately owned and is located in a big house that was refurbished into a childcare according to all requirement Regulations that are required by law and stated in the Pre-School Regulations 2006.

They usually provide subsidies for children aged less than three and children of school age. Ireland only provides free preschool year for specific age group from 3 years 2 months less 4 years 7months on 1st of September of the year that they are starting. A lot of countries provide long maternity leave for mothers and fathers (Sweden) usually until child is entitled to free education which helps both parents to participate in employment, therefore beneficial to economy.Examine the workplaces organizational structure, mission statement and valuesTheir services aims and objectives are to provide a service that is based on the ineluctably of the families and children as well as the staff. Like for children an environment which meets nutrition, health and safety requirements, supports and strengthens family ties, and which reflects the socioeconomic, cultural and ethnic background of its users, which accounts for the supe rerogatory needs of children (There is a large collection of age appropriate toys and equipment which will ensure that your childs developmental needs are met.

The setting has family like environment with a lot of siblings attending a crche. The manageme nt constantly obtains an open door policy allowing parents to either drop off or collect their children at any time. Parents do not take an active role in policy changes, however, management do welcome at any time any suggestions parents might have to change policies as they are always trying to improve our service. Communication between owner and the parent is usually through an email or one to one meetings. Owner and focusing are very involved in the crche life and not only sit in the office, they also working and participate in the activities and outings with children (on one occasion owner came down with her car to bring some of the children that didnt fit on the bus to the farm). Everyone in the setting follow policy and procedures, especially on outings and on the school runs.Regular meetings held by the owner and the staff on a monthly basis, and small staff meetings held by manager with room leaders and childcare assistants weekly. Staff are communicating with parents face to face and through little notes that they record what the children did on everyday basis. Relationships and working atmosphere is very friendly and pleasant because owner recognises the complex and fluid nature of the work of the staff in the Centre. And provides staff with on-going and diverse training (Siolta training, they have recently true full Siolta Verification) that will offer them an opportunity to further their skills. Owner and Management believe that this kind of training commitment will lead to the highest possible standardised of care for the young people in the Centre and to the development of greater job satisfaction and professional progression for all the staff.
