BUILDING THE AMBITION The Building the Ambition document was published in August 2014, and acts as a national practice guidance to support staff in providing high quality early learning and childcare. It provides support for putting theory into practice by offering case studies and reflective questions to provoke discussion and to help support improvement. As part of our Standards, Quality and Improvement Plan (SQIP) group we took an aspect from this document - 3.1 The Image of the Child.
IMAGE OF THE CHILD “Each child is unique and a competent and active learner whose potential needs to be encouraged and supported. Each child is a curious, capable and intelligent individual. The child is a co-creator of knowledge who needs and wants interaction with other children and adults. As citizens of Europe children have their own rights which include early education and care”. “Be child-centred, acknowledge children’s views and actively involve children in meaningful ways in everyday decisions in the setting”.“Offer a nurturing and caring environment“Provide appropriate spaces to play and learn with a range of possibilities for children to develop their present and future potential”. “Be responsive to children’s changeable interests and demands”.
What We Did ….Tasks to complete in order to bring this to fruition. These included: - Review the play policy Daily evaluation am/pm asking “What will we do tomorrow?” Staff become familiar with Building the Ambition documents and use evaluation toolsDisplay knowledge and understanding to parents/carers regarding Building the Ambition. (Poster). Involving parents. Develop an ICT policy around the slide show Evidence play to parents/carers through slide show as well as floor books and e-journals
Involving the Parents – Questionnaire What we didWe handed out a number of questionnaire to a number of parents across the three settings to find out: -Have you heard of Building the Ambition Do you know what this document is about? If you answered yes to Question 2, how much about this document do you know? Would you like some/more information on this document?What parents said - Our Findings
Q3. How much do you know about this document?1 parents responded with " Heard about it at school but not in a lot of detail".
Whats Next? What are we going to do next?We plan on developing a leaflet for parents to inform them more about the building the ambition document itself, (smaller version on the poster for wall) Stay and play sessions have now started for parents to come in and play with their children in the setting. This is currently on a Thursday morning and afternoon and we plan on developing this further over the coming weeks.
