the regulatory body. Outline the role of regulatory bodies in relation to home-based
childcare.
The regulatory bodies in UK plays a great role in ensuring the safety and development of
children. For example, Ofsted is an independent body in country which is responsible for
examining and scrutinizing the educational services being provided to children and young
people. This regulating body verifies that young people and children are being look after in a
well manner and that they are being protected from all the possible harms. Further, it also checks

3. Consider the role of regulatory bodies in relation to home-based childcare
The regulatory body plays a crucial role in ensuring a safe and healthy environment for
children and young people. These are the bodies which scrutinize the activities of the people who
are engaged in home based child care which in turn makes sure that proper procedures are
followed in providing child care services to children. Legislation facilitates guidelines regarding
how to provide a safe and inclusive environment to young people and children and the regulatory
bodies are the way through which effectiveness of such polices and rules are continuously
checked. A regulating body called Ofsted inspects the areas which reflects the effectiveness of
policies and procedures relating how well children and young people are provided the safety and
educational services.

children are prone to the risks of getting severe injury while playing outdoors, health
complications, climbing stairs etc. It is very important to take a balanced approach for managing
risk in order to provide safe working environment to children. It is necessary that children should
be exposed to some kind of risks and challenges in order to provide them learning experiences
However, this does not mean that children should be exposed to such risks and challenges which
can put them into severe danger. Such risks must be avoided for the purpose of facilitating a
safer environment to them. The balance approach is necessary in the overall development of
children, learning experience enhances their capability of understanding the things which could
hurt, their mental health progresses and they become more confident.

Child safety is concerned with supervising the child ,creating a safe environment and
teaching the child regarding what is safe for them and what is not. There are various ways
through child's safety could be ensured inside and outside the home. They are as follows:
Direct and active supervision:

children at all the time. This involves supervision on children when they are indoor , outdoor or
even when they are taking a nap.
Indirect supervision for older pre school children:

Partnership approach is very crucial as it helps in working together and effectively
sharing information by both practitioners and parents for better learning results of the children.
The partnership means collaboration between childcare organizations, local government, parents,
etc. which leads to higher beneficial interest for the children in order to live happy and healthy

best possible care and knowledge to the children. It is very important as it helps in improving the
learning outcomes of the individual (Havnes and Mogstad, M., 2015). The staff and child care
organization must be aware about the various health concerns of the children in order to provide

helps in building trust in childcare programs. Childcare organization needs to comply with strict
rules and regulations so that the information is used fairly, transparently and lawfully. The data
protected should be relevant, accurate and adequate (Thompson, 2018).
13

Example, the data should not be transferred to the third person without the consent of the parents.
It helps in building the trust in the childcare.
26. Working as a home-based childcarer you will need to have an understanding of children’s

Ireland, The Northern Ireland Executive is responsible for children’s learning, behaviour and
development. This can be done by strengthening the the support for parents and tracking young
children progress.
27. Explain factors which influence children’s development.
a) Explain how children and young people’s development is influenced by a range of
personal factors including:
These are the individual factors which influence the behaviour and attitude of the
children and this also influence the development and learning outcome of the children. This
mainly includes: Health Status: It helps in determining the mental, physical and social well being of the
individual which in turn affects the development of the children. Health status have

development of the children. Such disability mainly comprises muscular dystrophy,
spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, spinal bifida, etc. Sensory impairment: These disabilities mainly includes hearing, physical, visual,
intellectual and communication impairments (Garg and et.al., 2015). The child might use
sign language and various other combination in order to communicate with the other
person.
 Learning difficulties: These are the problems that affect the ability of the children to
14

analyse, process and store the information. This makes it difficult for the children to
speak, write, read and understand.
b) Explain how children and young people’s development is influenced by a range of
external factors, such as:
 Poverty and deprivation: Poverty impose a major negative impact on the education
level of the children. They also tend to have lower academic achievement. This results in
poor education which hampers the growth opportunity of the individual.
 Family environment and background: The primary social group of the child is family
which largely affect the development of the children at that point of time. The child
development happens emotionally, physically, intellectually and socially at this point of
time. Child's home environment can lead to the brain development of the child (Calder
and Hackett, S., 2017). Family influences the behaviour, personality, values and beliefs
of the individual. There are various environmental factors such as social, cultural,
biological factors of the individual.
 Personal choice: Positive choices of the individual such as nutrition, health, peer group

 Care status: These include factors such as family separation, youth offending,
inadequate parenting, strong attachment with primary carer, etc. largely influence the
academic achievement of the children.
 Education: There are various different settings which adversely affect the development
and growth of the children. Kids who goes to playgroup, school and pursue higher
education are more like to grow and have better opportunities than children whop didn't
pursue further education.
28. Explain the difference between sequence of development and rate of development from birth
to 19 years of age.
Rate of development is referred to as the velocity at which the child will develop. The
sequence of development is common among children but the rate at which the children develop
their skills differs from person to person. There are four phases of development which are
infancy, childhood, adulthood and old age (Tandon, Saelens and Christakis, 2015). At this stage,
15

people tend to develop various different skills. Some tend to develop some skills at a much
earlier stage while others develop some skills at a much later age. All the areas for development
has been considered such as intellectual, social, physical and language which in turn helps in
children development. A sequence of development is the order within which the development of
the child will take place. The rate of development is the speed within which it happens. It helps
in determining the areas in which they are challenging (Blaine and et.al., 2015). It is very crucial
to monitor the sequence at rate of the child development in order to prove proper solution in the
areas they face difficulty. At the age of 3 most of the children are likely to draw dots, circles with
the help of pen and pencil. At the age from 2 to 3 children get training regarding toilets usage
and the basic manners relating to toiletries. The age group between 3- 7 years tends to build in
more confidence than toddlers. Solving simple puzzle, motor and bike skills, writing words and
full sentences, etc. At the age between 7-12 years they tend to get involved in various physical
activities and also loose teeth. At the age between 12-16 years there are lot of physical changes
in both male and female. At the age of 19 they are grown up as a full mature body (The sequence
and rate of each aspect of development from birth – 19 years Essay, 2019).
29. Describe key milestones in development for children from birth to 12 years in relation

30. Explain how children’s learning is influenced by:
Positive relationship: Building a positive relationship with children is important as it
helps in building strong and secure relationship which in turn helps kids in living independently.
The poor relationship with children has adverse impact on the mental health of the individual.
Positive relationship helps in better learning outcomes which in turn leads to better growth
opportunities. It helps in upbringing the child in the set desired manner (Helmerhorst and et.al.,
2017, June).
Environment: Positive learning environment helps children to grasp things more quickly.
Environment which are safe and comfortable helps in better learning capability. Unfamiliar
surroundings and negative environment leads to stress and damage to the learning ability of the
children.
31. Describe the 9 factors that influence a child’s behaviour.
Environmental factors: These factors include education, neighbourhood environment,
financial capabilities, family relationship, upbringing, etc. largely influence the behaviour of the
individual.
Interpersonal relationships: Attachment towards caregiver and parents, responsiveness,
parenting styles, social circle, peer circle helps in developing various skills and tend to change
the behaviour of the individual.
Biological factors: These factors include health of the individual, family treatment,
behaviour and attitude of childcare, treatment to both the genders influence behaviour of the
children.
18

Health and exercise: Children getting involved in physical activity and eats nutritions
and health food tends to be happy.
Geographical influence: the environment and the surrounding within which one is living
helps in developing various skills and talent. The weather also influence the health conditions of
the individual.
Familial influence: Families who nurture the individuals tends to develop positive
behaviour. On the contrary, families who neglect or abuse children. Those children have
difficulty in bonding and have poor social skills.
Education and learning: Children who have better education learn and adapt to various
skills.
Heredity: this factor leads to transformation in physical characteristics, appearance and
behaviour.
Development factor: age, development phase, etc., largely influence the behaviour of
individual.
32. There are different ways to manage behaviour. Here you need to look at the different ways
you can effectively manage and support the child to promote positive behaviour.
 Children should focus on sharing information with adults and teach them to share
feelings.
 They should help others who are in need.
 Calm down and take effective decision when needed.
 Manage their own problems and understand others.
 Praise good behaviour.
 Set good example.
 Give affection and comfort.
 Understanding their needs.
 Behaviour management at home.
33. There has been much debate and research into the value of play and how children learn
through play. As a home-based childcarer you will need to understand the value of play in
promoting children’s learning and development.
Play helps in working in a group and helps them feel comfortable by reducing stage fear.
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child states various rights which includes protection rights,
19

development rights, survival rights and participation rights (Dotti Sani, and Treas,2016).
Survival rights: these are basic needs which are very crucial for the existence of the
individual which includes food, shelter, adequate living standards, medical service, etc.
Development rights: this includes right to freedom, access to information, leisure,
conscience, religion, cultural activities.
Protection rights: This helps in protect and safeguarding children against exploitation,
abuse, neglect, etc.
Participation rights: This helps in children in expressing their viewpoints and thoughts
freely.
34. Explain the innate drive for children and young people to play.
It is very important for children to focus on playing as it is very important for mental and
physical health. It helps in increasing the metabolism which in turn helps in living healthy life. It
is also very useful in improving and developing the physical, cognitive, imagination and
emotional strength. It is useful in brain development and creative thinking.
35. Analyse how play is necessary for all children and young people’s development and well-
being.
Playing is very crucial as it helps in overall growth and development of the children. It
adds various benefits which mainly includes coordination, natural energy, motor skills, balance,
social and emotional skills, creativity, communication, cognitive thinking, etc.
36. Children learn by discovery as well as when they are told to do something. Explain benefits
of balancing child-initiated and adult-led play activities.
Child-initiated and adult-led play activities helps children in high and best quality
experience to the child (Romero, Preston and Giles, 2016). Child-initiated activities is where
kids decide what, where and how they wanna play. It helps children in testing out their own
ideas. Adult-led play activities helps in maintaining effective relationship between children and
adult.
37. Identify how children’s play needs and preferences change in relation to their stage of
development.
Children tend to get involved in different activities at different phase of development. At
much older stage they get involved in rough games such as. Kids between 0-18 months play with
toys, rhymes, peek a boo, etc. toddlers from 18 to 3 years chunks crayon arts, plastic and 3 wheel
20

scooters, swings, etc. Children between 3 to 6 years ride small bikes, water play, ball games,
puzzle, etc (Tandon, Saelens and Christakis, 2015). Children between 6 to 12 years play broad
games, swimming, bike riding, etc. Children between 12- 18 years play pool tables, challenging
adventures, etc.
38. Discuss the need for an inclusive approach when planning play activities.
Inclusive approach is crucial as it helps in respecting various diversities. A park should
be well designed which helps in managing the diversity of various children regardless of abilities
and needs.
39. When working as a home based childcarer you will undertake observations and assessments
of the children in your care. It is essential that you understand the role of observation in
promoting children’s learning and development.
 I will identify and understand the needs of each children.
 I will develop partnership with peers, family members, etc.
 I will involve them in various physical activity.
 I will keep track of the diet and portion of food intake.
 Development of various effective skills.
40. Supporting a child with extra help before the child starts to fall behind the expected pattern of
development is known as early intervention. Here you need to discuss how this approach
supports development.
This helps in effectovvely p[roviding early support to the young peoople and child who
are at major risk of poor results and circumstances. In order to support a child with proper care
they must focus on working with experienced professionals. Working with talented and
experienced professionals helps in appropriately addressing the issue which helps in better
results and outcomes.

UNIT 2 – PREPARING TO SET UP A HOME-BASED CHILDCARE
BUSINESS
1 Outline the skills, attributes and behaviours that you need and require to lead and manage a
home based childcare setting.
Communication and Adaptability are the key skills required by child care provider to
manage home based care services. According to Finch, Johnson and Phillips, 2015,
communication is the significant skill required by carer which comprise individual ability to
respond to gestures of child and recognize and respect feelings of child. However, adaptable skill
of child carer demonstrates ability of person to change action and approach of managing services
as per vulnerabilities of individual child. For example, when managing care of children with
specific need it is important for the carer to focuses on inclusion of child in learning and
development environment.
Balanced and well-behaved attributes of child carers denote individual ability to lead
and manage home based child care. Balanced attribute of care providers is essential to have
quality which reflects on intellectual, physical and emotional stability of a person. According to
Calder and Hackett, 2017, it important for the child care worker to be balanced for treating child
with care and according to individual attitude and development. Behaving normally to every care
situation reflects ability to deal with different type of children. Apparently, well behaved person
is one who own good manners and work according to morals and ethics in different social
situation. Well behaved attribute of child care worker reflects one’s ability to manage care with
respect to ethics. For example, carer is managing care for child suffering from hyperactivity
disorder then the quality assists the workers in dealing patiently with impulsiveness of child by
focusing on areas of control.
Exciting and Humble behaviours are key requirement of child carer which reflects on a
willingness of person to manage and lead home base child care. Humble behaviour of child care
provider is demonstrated in individual ability to show sincere affection by playing with them
according to their comfort. As per the view of Snell, Hindman and Belsky, 2015, patience child
carer which is tested multiple times in a day. Exciting behaviour of care workers is necessary to
encourage child involvement in development and learning practices in home-based care.
Excitement denotes activeness of workers to get along with vulnerabilities of child in positive

way.
2 Consider the roles and responsibilities of a home based childcarer when leading and managing
a setting.
Role of home-based child carer is to plan learning activities for children to encourage their
involvement in leaning environment. As per the views of Wood and et.al., 2014, role of child
carer is to play learning games, practice writing, identifying and counting with child in order to
boost their inclusion. Further, role of caretaker is to listen, enable, encourage, engage and motive
children to experiment learning. Finch, Johnson and Phillips, 2015, outlined about role of child
carer as per child care quality which is to provide healthy and safe meal to children. It is essential
for the care provider to ensure stability in schedule of child with respect to sleep, learning, meals
and hygiene.
Responsibility of keep a first aid kit always ready and near in case of any uncertain
accidents o children when learning and playing. Accidents when managing care of child is
normal as the individual are hyperactive to very situation and therefore the carers are responsible
to quickly make use of first aid to eliminate risk of permanent hurt (Mason, Carter and Tagg,
2011). Ensuring hygiene is another responsibility of care taker when managing and leading care
in home-based setting which comprise flossing and brushing teeth, regular baths, washing hands,
etc.
3. Provide information on how to source support for the home based childcarer.
Community welfare organisation the best sources of support to home-based child carer
(Goodrich, Mudrick and Robinson, 2015). The care provider will seek support from National
Childminding Association (NCMA) webinars can provide support with regard to child minding
expertise. Contact website of organisation is childcare.co.uk and number is 6020111.
4. Explain how you, as a home based childcarer registers as an employer.
Wages to employee (Average Child Care / Day Care Worker Hourly Pay in United
Kingdom, 2019)
 Hourly: £6 - £10
 Bonus: £102 - £11,792
 Total Pay: £12,429 - £22,487
Tax pay less than £1,500 a month (PAYE and payroll for employers, 2019)

National Insurance if child care provider is 16 or over and either:
 An employee earning above £166 a week (National Insurance, 2019)
 Self-employed and making a profit of £6,365 or more a year
5. Explain how you, as a home based childcarer would register as a self-employed childcarer and
the self assessment process that you will need to follow.
By obtaining licence from state's laws and by securing liability insurance policy for the
child-care business. Pre-registration, safeguarding and paediatric first aid training is the essential
part of regulations. In stage 2 The care provider is responsible for register and complete
reference check in to 2 registers of Ofsted that is the child care register and Early year register.
Further, confirming notice from program staff of child care and Early learning during licensing
process denotes confirmation of registration and licensed care providing services.
I will read all the necessary information of registration for seeking license for Home based
care. I will call child care information centre to seek for best possible information required for
registration. Further, I will focus on completing two reference check which are the most
important part of registration. I will continuously seek for confirmation of registration to
eliminate the risk of reference check at the time of final registration. Thus, I will seek for
continuous support from staff of child care and Early year.
6. List the considerations that you should be aware of when planning to start your own home
based childcare business.
Home based child care business is related to offering the services which is related to home
and also providing such facilities at home only. It results in taking care of their children and
handling such issue such as staying at their own places or consuming food and also handing
many children at home. The positive impact of having the home based child care is related to
minutely examining the children and also taking care of the appointer who are taking care of
children. By this concept it results in saving cost and also their children are safe as they are their
own home only. The negative aspect of their services is that day care is related to stressful job
which results in handling many children at single placers and also taking effective care so that no
complain are arise regarding such job.
There are various aspects which have to be taken into consideration while planning for
starting a home based child care business. These are as follows:

 Licensing laws: To start a business the major factors which is to be kept in mind is
regarding to following the laws which is to be initiated under the health and human
service child care services which resulting in following the rules and regulation which is
to be mentioned under the norms. As children are delighted and to be handle with proper
care thus licensing is to be required to start the business.
 Approval of licensing: To start a business and if the business is related to child heath
care it required the authentic and hygienic place where the business is to be set up. Thus
the place meet the standard and also it is to be set up at specific zone where there is less
chances of issue arises. After examining all such activity the license is to be issue which
is the sign to set the business and promote such business to deal in more home based
child care of children.
7. List and outline the reason for the types of insurance required for a home based childcare
setting.
Child care professionals needs to have following kinds of insurance for their business:
Public Liability insurance:
It is mandatory for child care businesses to have a suitable public liability insurance that
covers their work with the children.
Professional Indemnity insurance:
This is another type of insurance which is a mandate thing for a child care business. This
insurance provides the identity against any mis-happening in the business.
Employer's Liability Insurance:
If the business employs a child minder or assistant, the business owner is required to have
this kind of insurance and display a certificate of employer's liability.
8. You have decided to open you own Home based Child care business, and now need to create a
business plan.
Mission Statement: To provide the best quality care and education to the young people and
children. We will focus on supporting and encouraging children in the area of development. Strengths: I have an experience at delivering the best services and care to the young
people and children. I have expertise team which helps in understanding the needs and
want of children and customize services according to each child's preference.

 Weakness: I will face difficulty in attracting trained professional due to newness of
operation. The changing dynamic environment may result in inability to forecast demand
and services. Opportunity: The growing market and large target customers helps in expansion of the
business. This in turn leads to high revenue and profitability.
 Threat: Increase number of competitors is a major threat for the business. There are
various government laws and complying with each of them is a major issue.
9. Describe how to register with the appropriate regulatory body.
Care quality commission is an independent regulatory body which helps in registering
with health and social care service renderer in England. It also identifies whether the company is
complying with various standards or not. It was established to regulate health and care services
in England. The person who wants to register with CQC must have all the necessary information
ready and also understand the requirements of the various laws and legislations. The person
should fill application details, regulated activities and locations, additional information,
application declaration and submission of application. (The procedure is covered in Appendix).
