"provide opportunities for children to develop and use their home language in their play and learning" I keep seeing this on Ofsted reports.

Our treasurer has suggested we move our banking online, as our local bank is wanting to start charging us for transactions. Can anyone tell me whether we are okay to do this, as apparently we would normally require 2 signatures? Personally I think it's a good idea! Many thanks.

HI we have a baby room which can take six, and has had six for a while, but due to dropping numbers on three days a week we now only have three children and therefore only need one staff (according to ratio's). i really do not like just having one member of staff in there with three children. i feel it is hard work and that it means nothing in the room is really getting done due to the routines of the children (feeding bottles, changing etc etc) and i know how much hard work this is if your on your own. i have looked in statatory guidance and can't see anything about lone workers, i really want some info that will argue the point that there should be two members o…
