Outdoor Play

In our setting we have established a free flow outdoor play routine. Ch have free access to it all day. However we have recently started questioning if we are approaching outdoor play in the correct way. We put a variety of activities out some which can only be done outside i.e bikes, scooters etc.. but many which can be done inside. We have found ourselves questioning that if many of the activites can be done inside what's the point to outdoor play? A member of our team said to give them fresh air - surely this cannot be the ony reason? We have limited resources and at the moment our outdoor play area is just a soft tarmac area. Any thoughts on the types of things other …

I read something on this site, only the other day, about someone who had listened to a speaker who dealt with children interrupting/behaving inappropriately by singing nonsense at them. I didn't write down where it was and now I can't find it/think what the key word I typed in was, or anything. Perhaps it's senile dementia setting in at the age of 36 . If any one is less senile than me and knows where I can find it I would be extremely grateful!

I took early retirement at Christmas.( personnal reasons) Then this week I was phoned up by a school asking me to do a few days in their Nursery, I was delighted, but oh dear because my CRB check is more than 3 months old I couldn't be employed. This is in spite of it being in the same authority and everyone knows me. Ringing my last HT or HR would give them more information than one of those forms, If I hadn't had the 3 week break from employment I could have taken it whilst they did a new check while I was working, but because of the break I have to start again. Now don't get me wrong I think everything should be done to protect children, but I think that a little commo…
