Can anyone help me start this essay I am tied up in knots

[KatyMac]

It's part 3
"Begin Task 3 by explaining why you thought that each of the pieces of writing you described in Task 2 would be appropriate to assist your workplace understanding and development.

Then go on to examine your organisation and/or your own workplace practice in the light of the content of your two Task 2 pieces:
. to what extent do the concepts, models and theories in your chosen pieces of writing apply to your workplace?
. to what extent can you use them to explain what happens (or predict what will happen) in your organisation?

Draw some conclusions about your workplace and/or practice in the light of the concepts, models and theories you have taken from your pieces of writing.

Draw some conclusions about the usefulness of the pieces of writing you chose to increase your knowledge and understanding of your workplace, or to become more competent in practice."

I keep running round in circles

& does this work?

Q "Using the concepts, theories and models from Part 3 Topic 1 ?Strategy and the organisation? as a framework for your thinking, write a description of your organisation in its environment, and the issues that are important to it at the present time."

A "WC is a small childcare setting in a little village in east Norfolk. Its mission statement is ?to provide high quality childcare within a home environment ? WC, for all your childcare needs?.

F*, the village we are based in has about 360 houses and is between 2 large commuter routes connecting: Norwich, Great Yarmouth, A, S, NW and W. We have 5 employees currently and provide childcare for 15 children between 8 months and 7 years. We operate a grant funded before and after school club for the local school alongside contract and ad-hoc early years childcare.

We work to a Quality Assured Kitemark Scheme which requires inspection visits at 10 weeks intervals to ensure up to date training and implementation of ?Best Practice? which has benefited the setting as we are able to put into practise current thinking and trends as soon as they emerge. Due to this I have always been awarded the highest grading a childminder can achieve during both my inspections; the first at 7 months from start of trading and then at 3 years.

In September 2008 a new framework was implemented the ?Early Years Foundation Stage? which comprises of Welfare and Education requirements; these change the conditions under which childminding occurs and have been seen in the media and by, childminders and parents alike, as onerous and relying on un-necessary paperwork. Despite this I have been recently awarded ?Outstanding? at inspection which means I am unlikely to be inspected again for between 3 to 5 years."

& what else do I need to add??

Bump

Does this work for the first Q

The pieces of writing that I have chosen:
Chapter 1 from ?Leading Practice in Early Years Settings (Achieving EYPS)?
and
?Raising the bar: What next for the early childhood education and care workforce?

The reason I chose Chapter 1 from ?Leading Practice in Early Years Settings? is that the conflict between leadership and management within Early Years settings is complex and expanding. As with the NHS there is starting to be a differential between managing the day-to-day running of a setting (or healthcare site) and the leadership of practice which is of vital necessity for such hands on professions
