|Duration |20 hours |
|Scenario |You work for an early years setting and part of your job role is to help train and update members of |
| |staff. The setting looks after children aged 0–8 years and it includes nursery, before school, after |
| |school and school holiday provision. |
| |
|Task number |1 |
|Task title |Linking Play and Development |
|Task instruction |Using relevant media sources, e.g. PowerPoint® with presenter’s notes, prepare a presentation about |
| |the value of play to provide training for learners at the setting. The use of images to support your |
| |text will be beneficial but make sure they are relevant and that you have gained the necessary |
| |permission to use images of children. You must cover ranges (0–2 years, 2–8 years). This could be |
| |done by using a case study for each age range. You need to include the importance of play to all |
| |aspects of development and how children play at different stages of development. Discuss a variety of|
| |play opportunities or types that children use, then select one example and give details of how it |
| |supports the various aspects of development. |
| | |
| |References, quotes and bibliography must be shown. |
|Evidence you must produce for this |Presentation notes or presentation slides with development notes |
|task | |
|Criteria covered by this task: |
|To achieve the criteria you must show that you are able to: |Unit |Criterion reference |
|Explain how play supports the physical, cognitive, language, social and emotional development of |2 |3A.P1 |
|young children. | | |
|Explain how children play at different stages of development. |2 |3A.P2 |
|Discuss the role of play in supporting the physical, cognitive, language, social and emotional |2 |3A.M1 |
|development of a child at different stages. | | |
|Task number |2 |
|Task title |Types of Play to Support Children’s Development |
|Task instruction |Use evidence from your placement settings and case studies for the ages 0–2 years and 2–8 years, to |
| |show how different types of play support children’s development. The evidence must also include how |
| |you differentiate play to meet individual needs of children and the resources you could use for the |
| |type of play shown. |
| | |
| |You also need to show evidence within your case studies from your placement of how you have |
| |interpreted and questioned the types of play you have discussed. Show how they would support a |
| |child’s overall development, and provide a rationale for the selection and suitability of resources |
| |used. |
| | |
| |Using your own opinion, judge the effectiveness of the different types of play and resources used to |
| |support the development of children within the age ranges 0–2 and 2–8 years. |
| | |
| |All five types of play must be included (physical play, imaginative play, sensory play, creative play|
| |and construction play). |

|early years settings to meet the needs of children at different stages of development. | | |
|Evaluate the extent to which different examples of play and selected resources support the all-round|2 |3B.D1 |
|development of children from birth up to 2 years and children from 2 up to 8 years. | | |
|Task number |3 |
|Task title |Perspectives and their Influences on Play |
|Task instruction |Write a report on your setting to discuss approaches to play. You need to include one theoretical, one |
| |philosophical and one other approach to play which commonly influence the provision in the early years |
| |setting. You also need to investigate and question to what extent the curriculum has been influenced by |
| |these approaches and, in your own opinion, judge how effective the application of one of these approaches |
| |has been within the early years setting. |
| | |
| |References, quotes and bibliography must be shown. |

| |development of adult involvement in play. You must also include examples of adults initiating and directing|
| |children’s play effectively and evidence of how they recognise and respond to the individual needs of |
| |children. Use examples from an appropriate setting. Within the leaflet you also need to discuss and |
| |interpret the skills required by adults to support child-initiated play and present reasoned judgements on |
| |these skills, including how, why and when you would use the skills and any limitations you have come across|
| |when conducting child-initiated play to support learning. |
