This unit allows learners to develop an understanding of the benefits of play for children and young people. The learner will demonstrate how children and young people benefit from a range of play experiences through planning, preparing and reviewing play experiences, either in a real or simulated context. The learner is not required to have a work placement to complete this Unit but would benefit from visiting Early Learning and Childcare settings which offer high quality child-centered play provision.
