(I'm in a preschool, 3 hours sessions, 28 children from 2 years to nearly 5, about 40% have English as Second Language, 7 members of staff.) Yesterday afternoon we had a chaotic session... No outside due to the freezing fog, and though I'm usually the first to say 'Get your coats,let's go outside!', my asthmatic chest does not like freezing fog so I'm glad we didn't go out. But it meant the children were just running riot, getting loads of stuff out and running off to play with someting else. At tidy-up with the children continuing to play and not help tidy, I said to our SENCo, who'd just told the children 'This really isn't fair, maybe you just shouldn't hav…

First, can I just say as an eta I love this site, but feel guilty that I just ask for help or read posts to pick up lots of hints and tips. So has you may have guessed I am after some help. I have been asked to work with a four-year-old boy to support his number recognition. The little boy is struggling to retain any, and I wondered if anyone had any ideas for activities i could do to help him.

I have a key child who is following a schema but am struggling to put it into a category and also how to include this in his next steps and planning. He will for example roll his trousers up and roll them down again (at home) take his shoes off put them back on. Put things in things and take them out again but the focus is the fitting the lid back on or closing the bag! I watched him spend ages just putting a toy chair on its side and pciking it up again also the brio bridge was oepn and closed continually Is this an open close schema but does that cover all his other repetative behaviour too? Please can you help? after meeting with his parents I would love to do a learn…

Hi. I am just wondering if at preschool you still do register and call out the children's names. Our children self register and we do morning time days of the weeks etc. But we do not call out children's names. A member staff sits and does the double check register and we mark the children off as they walk through the door.At reception will they be doing this. Dorinda

Good morning everyone, I'm after some opinions, hope you don't mind. Since starting at my nursery a few weeks ago I have instigated a morning circle time. When I visited I felt that it was quite chaotic when children first arrived, as they went straight to free choice but weren't really supervised properly, as the staff were all involved in talking to parents. I also felt this loud and busy environment was quite intimidating to some of the quieter or newer children (our age range is from 2, and some of the older children are quite boisterous!) The children come in and sit in a circle with an adult and play a little game, (something really simple such as building a tow…

Now am really confused, i work in aprivate nursery for ages birth to goin in to reception and as we all do follow the eyfs, what is confusing me is some of the children who attend my nursery also go to a preschool and 1 of the children likes to show us her folder from there. Upon reading it it seems very structured about the activities they provide for eg, nov13 al about u, nov 20 our bodies the colour of the week and number of the week. and this seems to be the pattern for the year?? i thought topics like this only to be introduced if the children have shown an interest not because the staff want to do this, an thoughts as this place got outstanding. …

Hello everyone. I would really appreciate some advice on dressing-up please. In my setting we have loads and loads of dressing-up clothes which have all been donated by parents. So we have 3 or 4 spidermen outfits, also superman, loads of fairy princess type dresses etc. These are available evryday as part of our continuous provision, but I'm starting to wonder if there really is a place for them.There are certain children who spend the best part of every session dressed as a princess or spiderman. This does not lead on to any specific role play, just so and so dressed as spiderman, on a bike or whatever he normally does. I'm not sure what is irritating me about this…

Hi. I've posted a few times on this forum and always received helpful responses, so I hope you don't mind me picking your brains again! I'm an NQT in a nursery attached to a school. We offer three-hour sessions over five mornings and five afternoons. I've never taught in F1 before, although I'm EY-trained and did my final teaching practice in F2. I'm never sure whether I'm doing anything right At the moment, my timetable looks like this: Do the register, sing a 'days of the week' song, look at the visual timeline for the session Plan-do-review One or two adult-led activities running alongside 'choosing time' Snack bar open throughout the session for children …
