High-quality early years provision does not operate in a vacuum, and the way in which practitioners plan, implement and monitor curriculum frameworks is crucial.
This aspect of practice, along with the ways early years practitioners work in partnership with parents and carers and other agencies, is covered in the early years mandatory unit 1 of the new Level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People's Workforce - (EYMP1) Context and principles for early years provision.
This unit is fundamental to a practitioner's ability to work effectively, as it puts their setting's ethos and approach in context. It introduces learners to the different approaches adopted by settings such as Reggio Emilia, High/Scope, Montessori and Steiner, and shows how these have influenced early years provision across the UK.
