Are any children's centres near you under threat? The one near us seems to be open less and less as time goes on and there does not seem to be a huge interest in it in the local community probably because it is quite affluent. The question is should it shut to preserve others which are more used? If so what happens to the building which was developed for the purpose? What was the point in opening it just to give up so soon? It all seems quite sad but, then if they keep attacking our funding, we may not stay open forever either. I tried to put this up and it disappeared! So i rewrote it and then they both appeared! Typical!

Hi, We run a number of small creches - maximum of two hours and 5-8 children. Is it ok for the creche workers to bring thier own children (only one per creche worker) if they are included in the ratio and allocated to a different member of staff as a key worker? Thanks Victoria

Hi all- i wonder if anyone has had experience of establishing a formal early years network that provides CPD, networking, sharing of practice etc? We have agood network up and running but want to go about making it more"Official" perhaps so we can tap into some funding and ensure that it has some good sound pedagogy underpinning it etc. Anyone got any ideas what we need to do and how? :blink:

Hi all, Does anyone know a website where I can find the names of fruit and vegetables in different languages? I have looked but can not seem to find anything suitable. We want to encourage children to choose the fruit for each session and many of our children are EAL so I would like to have pictures of different fruit in different languages to aid their understanding as well as the childrens parents. Thanks :1b
