What is birth to three matters?

I believe that BIRTH TO 3 MATTER'S is an information pack that contains information in order to assist orgnaisations, childminders etc to give greater support to children betwwen the ages of 0-3.

The pack is supposed to include a useful CD Rom, colour coded cards with brief case studies on the subject matter ie. Listening and responding.

Sorry thats as much as I know myself , which is one of the reason I would like to obtain a pack for myself so I can read it.

HOPE THIS HELPS THOUGH.

I was also confused about birth to three matters at first as I was trying to source observation sheets. The company you need to call is called Sound Learning Limited, Tel: 01543 467787. For £22 they sent me a fantastic pack of blank observation records and various planning forms etc. Along with the pack you also receive a CD Rom containing all the information.

Boy £22 is quite a lot for a student with a baby in tow.

I will have to sit down and evaulate if its REALLY worth having.
Thanks for the info and I can pass it on to the other students on my course.

hi everyone we have just started to use the birth to three matters and at the moment im finding it fairly easy. we have a toddler time where we mix with the youngest children of the over 2s room, 2 members of staff plan together and then we evaluate.all the planning is kept in its own folder so when ofsted come round it is there for them to see. this is also a good opportunity to do observations and to write down the points which they do off the cards. ie. a healthy child, a strong child etc i cant understand why some people are having problems with this

birth to 3 matters - 05-06-04 20:12

by: Shell

i am finding it difficult because i have little experience of planning and the setting i am in has no planning set up yet so it is very difficult.

birth to 3 matters - 07-06-04 22:13

by: cheeky devil

hi shell. when we plan for the baby room we do a morning and afternoon activity and write that down for everyday of the week then on another sheet we do an evaluation to the activities done with the children.
in a separate folder we do our planning for the toddler group, quick and simple activities more structured than the baby room but less structured than the over twos room. we have been planning for the toddler group for three weeks now and it is going very well, if you need any ideas just leave a message and i will give you my email :-)

birth to 3 matters - 17-10-04 15:42

Hi! - I think the reason why we're all having problems with planning is that we're trying to anticipate what OFSTED want from us.
Bearing in mind that children learn all their waking time, and we can say a long list of potential learning in one activity, lets not do the adult directed stuff with these babies! Lets not impose topics on them.
Lets just make sure we have lots of reasources (interesting stuff not necessarily state of the art) available, keep to a workable routine, and make sure there's plenty of time to talk and play with the children. Watch what they do and think about what they might be interested in doing next time.

Lets put OFSTED in their rightful place and think of the 2 year old first - what would they like to do?

If the OFSTED inspector is any good they'll understand and be able to see that what you're doing is right.

There are some useful little books from Featherstone education called 'Right From the Start Little Baby Books'
that might help with planning. Look on the webstite www.featherstone.uk.com

Hi, I recently attended a 10 week course by Oldham Early Years, which explained, in depth, how to plan using birth to three. some of the main points included making sure your planning is flexible, so if the children are enjoying an activity then why give it a time limit? Also do not try to stick to topics as what are the children really going to get out of them at such a young age. it also focuses on building strong relationships between carer and child, building confidence and self esteem, and allowing children to select activities for themselves. there is so much information that i could carry on typing all day! hope this helps a little. emma

Hi, shell

What you may feel comfortable with is chosing a selected amount of aims which like with them theme of the nursery and apply activities to suit these aims and the age of the child.
