   Not sure if these books are mentioned anywhere else on the forum, but, The Little Baby Books from Featherstone Education are fantastic. There are 16 books in the series for about £4.95 each and they have basically transformed planned activities within in our under three's section. Well recommended

   Hi Everyone We have recently received our birth to three matters pack (after a long delay) , but have not put it into practice as yet. Has anyone started using it? How was it introduced? I'd be really interested to find out about people's experiences. I manage a 40 place LEA community day nursery. We currently cater for children from 12 months but are planning to take from 4 months next September (2004).

   Hi, Recently found this site and think it is fab and has given me a lot of useful ideas. I am from Bedford and run a small pre school with 33 children aged 2 1/2 - 5yrs. Unfortunately I have not found much help and support so I have started up a 'Pre School Group'. We share ideas, resources, advice, contacts and have also just come up with the idea of toy trials. As we all know new equipment can be costly, and you never know if it will stimulate young minds or be left in a boring pile. So different pre schools share what equipment works for them and is most useful to the ELG for planning and observation but above all most fun for the children. We meet up once a term for…

   This weeks nursery world has an article outlining the way Ofsted are going to be carrying out inspections from next year. These inspections will take into account Birth to three, the national standards and the education of 3-4 year olds. We take children from 2 and a half and so havent really looked at the BTTF, much less planned to it.

   Nappy Times?

   I know this website is dedicated to the foundation stage but..... what time settings do nurseries use for nappy changing? I imagine you have to change the nappies at regular intervals but how regular? And if a child has to be changed in between these intervals do they get changed at the next nappy time or so many hours after they nappy was changed...OK so now i'm even more confused! I've only ever worked with preschool before so never really come across the nappy thing before! Please help!
