Earlier 2016 I attended the 1st National Men In Childcare conference. It was a fantastic day and a lot of interesting debates and ideas were thrown around. However, at the end of the day during the questions and answers with the panel of 'leaders in their field' it all became meaningless. The panel were scared to to discuss the gender differences with men and women child carers. They all said that their is no difference between a male or female child care practitioner if they were trained properly. and that the only goal of increasing the <2% male early years force was to increase the pool of human resource to employ from.

Hi all, I am new to this forum and have got a lot from just reading older posts and comments, so thank you! I am in the process of starting a nursery in a barn we are converting, but I'd really appreciate some advice in terms of flooring.

Hi Just after some advice. I have a little boy that will be 4 yrs old in a couple of months. He has been with us for nearly a year and he is in the proess of being referred to a paediatrician by GP (hopefully) as we have concerns about his behaviour and he shows some autistic tendancies. I really cant say for sure if he has behavioural problems or is on the spectrum. I have referred to our sen team but they will not take him on as he is not severe enough. He has little clear langauge but does try to communicate and we can understand some of what he says. He has also uses learnt phrases eg help me please, no thank you. For the last 2 months I have been completing ABC …

I am currently filling in a grant application that has been landed on me and needs to be completed by Friday. I have decided to ask for some money to replace and revamp our current very old books. Just interested in what are your children's favourite story books at the moment. I would be interested in hearing about ones suitable for pre-school aged children.
