Hi all - i am at last able to claim some wall space in the children's centre for a display for parents. I can't decide what to put on it now though as there is so much I feel would be useful. Trying to choose from:- Info about the EYFS Learning through play Every Child matters Want to use some of the many pictures taken of children at stay and play sessions in the centre as the illustrations. Any ideas? What do you think would be best?

Just wondered if anyone else had run one of these and had any good ideas. I've got stacks of info from ICAN, Talking point etc. But if anyone has had any activities that have worked really well with parents, then I'd be very interested Thanks

Hi I am currently a childminder but considering a change and I have seen an advert for a family support worker in our local children's centre. I am NVQ3 qualified and very experienced with children and families of children in the 0-5 age group. From what I can see these are the main essentials of the job description. However, I don't know much about children's centres so I wondered if someone would mind letting me know what I can expect if I was successful with the job application and also if I might stand a chance in the first place! The other thing is the post is temporary for 6 months. Hubby is unsure about me giving up minding for a temporary job but I…

I am really in need of some help. I am in the last Year of my BA Hons and have recently moved to work at a children's centre. As well as having three assignments due in after Christmas I also need to start to think about my dissertation. The trouble is I am now struggling to think of some areas/ideas for my action research linked to my current role/children centres. My initial thoughts were to do something around baby massage or multi agency working. I wondered if anyone else based in a children centre - or setting other than school/nursery - has carried out an action research problem and maybe offer some advice for starting points. I am appreciative of any informat…
