I have a group of children who are having problems with conservation of number. I know this sounds formal!!! and probably very stiff. However, this is their next progressive step. I am just beginning my planning and need any creative, practical, activities that will help their development in this particular area. My TA is working with them each day on this particular aspect of development and I'm running out of good ideas so HELP!!!

Hi I am in the final year of a BEd course specialising in Early Childhood Studies. I am currently completing my final module, entitled The Early Years coordinator.

Hi, We are trying to put together ideas for a general early years policy. We thought it would be a good idea to gather sample policies from other schools and I wondered if anyone would mind sharing theirs with us. If you have the time to upload it and don't mind we would really appreciate the help. Many thanks.
