Hi, I know this is not in the area for foundation but we run an after school club and need some posters to put up in the cubicles/walls about cleanliness and hygiene. The boys are the worst, wee on the seats and the floor........BUT do not clean up. Glad I'm not like that!. Can anyone give me a heads up on some printable posters or text? Neil

Hi, This year is the first year that I have done preschool visits to the children who will be starting school with me in September. At the moment i am just saying hi to the child, and spending about 20 mins playing/chatting to the child and their friends (most of my preschools only have one child transfering). I am also asking the child's key workers if there is anything I need to be aware of and what the child is like. I am spendign roughly 20 mins to half an hour at each preschool. As preschool workers: is this what you would expect from a visiting teacher? what else could/should I be doing? This seems to be working for me - especially as I have 2 ta's cove…

Personal Chatter

I feel unhappy when staff spend a lot of time chatting to each other (and me) about their personal lives rather than interacting with the children. How do I handle it when someone starts telling me about how many drinks they had last night while I am in the middle of reading a story to a child (just one example!) without seeming rude. I end up just nodding and saying 'oh really' and then turning away to talk to the child/children I am with. But I think that I am coming across as rude because of this, and I don't want to completely alienate myself (I am not a supervisor so don't feel I can address it head on). What I would really like to do is think of some ideas to…

Hi Just been told today that i have been shortlisted for a job within a nursery that seems really forward thinking and that i would love!

I'm going to make some gloop for the children tomorrow. Any ideas on what I should provide with it? I was thinking of putting it on a tray and providing some teaspoons and plastic toy plates or bowls for them to spoon it on to. Does anyone do anything else with it that the children enjoy? I have mixed ages from 11 months to 3 years. Thanks
