Hi, wondering if any of you can help. We have had tents and making dens as a big part of our setting lately as there has been lots of interest in camping etc. Problem is with the children making their dens, even with see through sheets, they are enclosing themselves and there has been a few incidents like hitting etc in there. There is always staff involved with tent making but because the children want small cosy spaces usually it is hard to see everything happening inside. Today the tent had to be put away because a child bit another whilst inside. Staff member was right by the tent doorway but because the tent is small a verbal warning/distraction was not enough to sto…

This is a tall order I know but hopefully someone will understand/be able to assist me. I have to overhaul assessment (ofsted inspection recommendations). The Early Years specialist advised me to assess the children against EYFS specifically. The school I am in used their own assessment that basically consisted of - can they speak english, can they understand instructions and what (if any) skills do they have in literacy/numeracy already. I know that we should be assessing using the profile but I am struggling to see the bigger picture. The children are only with me and the other teachers for approx 1 hour (don't separate particularly well either, more so for m…

Hello all. On our template for completing the 2 year check there is a section to assess the child's decelopmental stage in each of the areas . Could any one offer any advice on how you do this? Do you use development matters and see which statements apply to the child. For examplethe child may be a the 22-36 months development stage in PSE managing feelings and behaviour. Advice would be appreciated. Thanks all. :-)

Hi, I have a group of girls (strongly lead by 1 of them) who repeatedly play at being dogs. This is EVERYDAY, and pretty much the same. They are starting to introduce a storyline and using known stories to influence their play. They asked me to be 'the witch' from 101 Dalmations and used the book to choose which character they wanted to be. However, I'm a bit stuck with how to move this play on. 2 of the girls inparticular are keen mark-makers and I'm trying to encourage them at the moment to attempt writing in different situations (other than writing their names and 'm' for mummy. Any ideas? I'm going to change the other role-play to a pet shop/vets after they have fini…
