Just wondered if your centre lends parents books etc and how you monitor it/ensure you get them back? We are thinking of making activity bags that contain games or stories but any other ideas gratefully received. We don't have the space for a toy library at present

I did a secondment last term as outreach teacher in a CC, felt like I was chasing my tail a lot, it got me to thinking though, and I wondered how many CC teachers do we have here (those that would like to own up anyway!!). And it would be nice to know what your roles are beginning to look like? What do you actually do, and what sort of problems are you having? Over to you then.

The people in the Nursery I'm attached to have more experience of working with young children than me - I have only taught Reception classes. Whilst I know the FS curriculum inside out I just feel like I'm not qualified for this job. I have moved LEA's for the job and of course this LEA works comletely differently to mine and is piloting projects that I have never heard of - people are asking me for advice on these and I don't know the answers! I know they only had a couple of applicants and had real trouble recruiting so I am just worried that I've go tthe job before I'm ready and I should have worked …
