Set up/ Supervision requirements for experiences
Posted: Sat Dec 30, 2017 9:29 pm
List the safety considerations that would need to be taken into account when supervising the children (consider children’s age and skills, space, equipment and restricting the number of children who might access the area at any one time).
NURSERY
1. Ride-on plastic trikes (outdoors) - Lack control and co-ordination, may run into others, maximum of 1 child per bike
2. Push-along trolley (indoors - assuring that the child is able to control the trolley from tipping over, may run into others, maximum of 2 children on 1 trike at a time
3. Infant on floor with activity board - have all activity set up on a mat in a corner of the room, children playing with activity board need to be able to be seen to ensure nothing is put into children’s mouths
4. Indoor slide - one child going down the slide at once, educator to stand beside slide at all times to ensure that the children are able to go down
Feedback from assessors
Good start however, please also consider what could go wrong with each experience/equipment (in terms of behaviours children- use the age ranges as a guide) what would you typically expect to happen? What should you watch for?
