Aussie Childcare Network Forum

Hi, I really am struggling with the following question and the order of where to place each section, the importance and checks that need to be done, boxes.

6. As a child care worker, you will need to help provide suitable rest and sleep environments for children. For each of the following points, describe why these are important and what you would check to ensure the rest environment is set up appropriately:
i. Ventilation
ii. Lighting
iii. Heating/cooling
iv. Hygiene
v. Safety

for example on the Ventilation subject I have answered the two parts "Importance" and "Checks that need to be done", But I am not sure if I am on the right track or digging deeper than I need to.

i.Ventilation
Importance
NQF Regulation 110
Indoor spaces used by children at an education and care service must : Be well ventilated:
Helps to reduce the spread of infection and control the circulation of unpleasant odours. Good ventilation also assists in providing a comfortable environment.

Checks that need to be done
Ensure window is open or air vent from air conditioning is open. Ensure the air flow is not directed directly at the child.

Could you please help.

kind regards

WOW! That's fantastic, you're filling me with confidence, Much appreciated. Thank-you Lorina

Thanks!

Hi Lorina, I was just wondering if I am posting my questions in regards to CHC30113 Certificate 3 in Early childhood Education and care, In the right place. Kind regards OldChook

Can I get some assistance on the question also:

6. As a child care worker, you will need to help provide suitable rest and sleep environments for children. For each of the following points, describe why these are important and what you would check to ensure the rest environment is set up appropriately:

v. Safety - I am not sure exactly what to write here. Safe Equipment ??

Is this referring to the physical safety of things such as cots complying with AS/NZ standards?
Safe Sleeping Positions for babies? Wrapping Babies for Sleep?
Ensure children are all supervised even when sleeping?

Am I on the wrong track???
