Has anyone got any ideas how to get boys interested in painting, junk mobelling, glueing and sticking. All the boys want to do is empty the toys from the boxes and run around. This term has a large number of boys and we need to get them to having a go at the crafty things. Dose anyone know of a book that is full of ideas for us to try. Sue

Hi. i was thinking about investing in EY Essential (http://www.ey-essential.com/) through the PLA to make life easier at pre-school. Does anyone else use this and would they recommend it. It will cost £250 + VAT, so quite a lot of money but worth it if it saves time writing registers/producing invoices etc. Does anyone else use nursery management software that they would recommend? Thanks!

Hi there - not sure if I've posted this in the right area but I thought it would be a nice idea to collect some fundraising ideas to pass on... I'm sure we've all got our old favourites from sponsored walks and raffles but we have a couple of other 'schemes' which are always winners... anyone else want to share their ideas?? 1. bag2school.com parents/friends collect clothing, bags, shoes, bedding, linen, curtains, soft toys and place in a special bag, bring to the setting on a pre-agreed date/time. Bag2school come along and collect the bags, weigh the donations and hey presto a few weeks later we got a cheque for £120! 2. easyfu…
