Hi I am wondering if anyone has any experience of working in a children centre being led by 4 children? I have really enjoyed working in our centre and am fearing change!

Another discussion paper (not a consultation!) from the DfE about the core purpose of Children's Centres. If you have a view on what CCs should be about, have a look here. We can discuss it here too. What do you think?

Am wondering for those of you who plan for more than one session how you're plans differ from each other? I am now planning for 5 sessions a week (all to the EYFS) 2 are playgroup, 2 are stay and play and 1 is a creche, I also run these sessions so planning time is limited, I have begun using the same base plans and just amending certian activities to those more age apropriate when required however going forward I am wondering how I am going to show planning to meet the children's intrests using this format :-(

Has anyone got any ideas of how to involve children in the evalaution of your provision i.e find out what they like/ do not like about your groups? I have thought about asking children to take photos and the happy face/ sad face signs but none of these really hit the spot and give the information needed! Any suggestions much appreciated!
