Hi My name is Sue and i am an advisory teacher for my local education authority, presently on a secondment . Does anyone have experience in establishing a foundation stage unit? Settings in our authority are generating lot's of interest in units for many different reasons, however none of the settings are purpose built . Issues around planning, resourcing, staffing are high priority at the moment for most settings who wish to esablish a unit for their foundation stage. Would love to hear of anyone interested in the topic.

OK Chaps I need advice on what to do next inmy career!!!!! I've been teaching for thirteen years and at present am in a special school. I have been here for ten years and feel it is time to move on. BUT... at the moment I can only work part time as my daughter doesn't start school full time until Easter. I want to really, and this is my dream, run my own nursery. But I have no money to set one up or prmises. Next best thing would be a reception class...but do I go full/part time? Do I take a pay cut??? (as I'm expensive to employ now) Any advice from those who have been there and done it, gratefully received. Many thanks
