Hi, We are a committee run pre-school and we try to be flexible in the sessions that we offer parents. We are in a village and have a room in the primary school - all our children this year have applied to join the reception class... We are at the point now where some children attend 5 or more sessions, which is fine, but some only attend 2 or 3 but will want to increase this throughout the year. Our problem ( ) is that we can see that if we take on new children now (who only want to come 2 sessions per week) those current children won't be able to increase because we'll be full and we'll end up with lots of children on roll but non can claim all their…

We are looking for offers in the region of £40, but you will need to collect - we are near Oxford. If anyone is interested please pm me. here is a link to the item in questi…

However I thought I would ask you guys the sorts of things you have tried to source or would want to see on a website such as this? All ideas would be very welcome!

does anyone know of any good books with genuinely open ended creative ideas in? I am really struggling to think of enough ideas for our learning environment (continuous provision). I looked under 'snow and ice' on this forum but a lot of it was quite template based which I don't feel would be that desirable in terms of what the children learn from it. We have done wintery pictures with 'cold' colours at the end of last term which was lovely. I continually struggle to persuade my colleagues not to keep suggesting things like: a thumbprint mouse where the children draw eyes, whiskers etc on in felt pen a model of a snowman made out of .... The adults al…
