Our children are showing a huge interest in doctors and hospitals this last few days. Would like to follow this interest next week and create a role play area, either a doctors surgery or a hospital. We have a few plastic toys from doctors sets and bandages and will borrow some outfits. What else can we use that will have a purpose and is not going to cost a fortune? Would love some ideas please.

He is behind in all areas. I am thinking autism (have a relative who is autistic) I have spoken to my manager and his mum about my concerns .. mum is onl…

I am in the process of re-vamping our playroom in an attempt to re-inspire the children and discourage running around with no real purpose. I am on the look out for area signs which show things like 4 children in the sand/water/home corner/construction. I know I have seen them on here somewhere but I can't seem to find them for looking. If you could point me in the right direction, that would be fab. Thanks!

Thinking Skills

Hi everyone, I am hoping that you can help as I am drawing a blank and need some inspiration... I work in Nursery and since September I have had thinking skills groups - the children work in groups of about 5 once per week. I had to do this because they were so passive - they didn't question anything, get excited by anything and would shrug their shoulders when asked a question (my uktimate bugbear!) Examples of activities I have done so far are: - Look at pictures and talk about what they think is happening in the picture (Eg, floods, earthquakes, people laughing, space, earth, their local environment...) - Describe objects for the children to guess then t…

Calculation (nursery)
by Guest- 5 replies

I am not very good at thinking of ideas for calculation - unfortunately this is reflected in the children's learning journeys which have gaps in this area. So, I need to provide greater opportunities for the children. I know that it is not necessary to link activities to our topic of 'Bags and boxes' but I would like to, if possible. Does anyone have any ideas to get me started? Anything appreciated! And aren't I sad working on a bank holiday? I am on my own - my husband had to work today and there is only a week left before we're back to the normal routine - and so much to do in the meantime! Happy New Year everyone!! X

I just wondered if anyone could recommend good computer games for pre-school children, aged 2-4, please? We do not have internet access unfortunately, so I'm after something available on disc. Thanks in advance.

Hi I am struggling a bit with our plans, I’m not sure they are meaningful. What I wondered is what you all include on your plan daily/weekly? I thought of reducing what we write and instead have a plan for the key times and focused activities along with making a continuous provision book. However do you think we need to write what we have out each day as proof or not? I wondered whether to have more emphasis on the focused activities on offer each week which each staff member can deliver. Along with this each keyworker naturally provides daily for children's needs. With so many children in at different times it can be hard to manage so as long as key workers are develo…
