Hi everyone, this is my first post on the site!! Im hoping someone can shed some light on the glf...here goes... I gained my EYPS in july last year and at the time was a nursery nurse in my setting. My setting knew that once i had it, i wasnt necesarily gonna hang around on the rubbish wage i was on (!!!) so there was talk of a new role - the graduate leader for the setting. My new role began in august, along with a good payrise, in time for the EYFS. The setting was under the impression that once the funding was under way, this would be used to supplement my wage (they thought that 50% had to be used for this). 5months on, after endless funding forms and providing r…

Hi, We are in a portacabin on school grounds but we have been told that when the planning permission runs out in 2013 it will not be renewed , and hence the portacabin has to go.

All sugges…

Today (whilst I was out on a course) a child was dropped off at nursery by a relative other than the parent with a message from the parent to say that they didn't want their child to be allowed outside during the session, with little explantation as to why. The child was very upset when he was not allowed outside and subsequently his behaviour deteriorated. This is the first time that we have had to deal with this request. I wondered how others have dealt with this in their settings. The head has suggested that the parent will need to put this request in writing. My concern is that the child is not being offered the whole curriculum according to the EYFS. And that the ma…

Hi all What is the maximum amount of hours you can open under sessional care? We have the 15 hour entitlement. At present we are open 3 hrs per day, and full. We have quite a few funded children wanting more sessions but can t fit them in. I was toying with the idea with opening an extra hour per day, to allow them to be able to gain their extra entitlement that way. Thanks all Sharon

Just wondering if any of you have noticed numbers dropping due to the credit crunch, children doing less sessions, children not attending whilst mum on maternity leave, children leaving due to a parent losing their job etc?

This week i will be looking at changing a Eyfs display board and would like to hear your ideas of what parents would find useful? like? etc. At the moment i have large flowers and each one represents the continuous provision areas such as Book corner, construction area etc. On each petal i have a learning outcome and pictures of the children playing in this area. Although this display has been really effective i would like some more inspiration pleaseeeee??? The title of the display will still be- Enabling environments!!! I also would be interested to hear other Eyfs display ideas?? Bubbles x
