I've had a parent who has told me I am 'infringing his parental right' to not let him see what his ex partner has written on a child intial profile form (basically information about the child which will help us settle him into preschool - ther is a section for peoepl important to your child). I have given him the opportunity to complete one himself. He has told me what he thinks is on it. He appears to have an issue with his ex partner's new partner and I feel he is trying to draw the setting into the situation. Any advise please. SmileS

Mathematical Development Action
by Guest- 12 replies
- 2.7k views
This was one of the actions from my nursery's last Ofsted: Make sure that children are actively encouraged to take part in a good range of activities which support mathematical development. I want to deliver some training on this to my pre-school team. Any ideas on where to start or what to include? I want it to be full of handy, user friendly ideas, for incorporating maths into all aspects of the day, and taking opportunity of spontaneous things that arise; rather than focus on planned activities - as my staff are fine with these.

Hi everyone just recently joined and ready to have a moan. I have been teaching foundation for 5 years and have been in charge of the lea nursery for 3 years. Just would like to know how much time people spend on literacy and numeracy. we have just had lea in the main school who have made suggestions that things are not quite right in these areas (tried to tell them about the area and how many of our children come to school with lots of problems but apparently children are much more capable than 5 years ago!!!) Head wants changes made in reception which will filter down to the nursery I am sure. At the moment in literacy we probably do more than we should, not sure how I…
