Is anyone else just feeling completely overwhelmed with paperwork? I feel like I have totally lost all direction with what paperwork is really required and just running round in circles. In particular I need to do some work with my team on evidencing children's progress. Why can't there just be some more guidance on how we are expected to do things instead of this guessing game all the time.

Sorry for th…

We were low on numbers which is why we now take children the day after they turn 3. After a very challenging afternoon session today I just wondered how other nurseries cope with this and fitting in directed tasks and adult led individual or small group tasks too. We also have a child who will potentially have an EHCP or old version statement soon who started very recently.

So far I can only think of character passports so I need some inspiration!! Green Hippo x

Hi there. I am really interested in the Little Big Maths scheme. I'm hoping to go on a training course just to get to grips with how it can impact on nursery (school) and reception. Does anyone have any experience of using this at all ? Good and bad ? Thank you

Baseline tests at the beginning of reception class may effect our EY practice due to pressure to teach to the test. Please sign the petition to say NO to baseline tests, they are not fit for purpose.
