AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH! Every one in my early years team appear to be on a training course today and are not answering the phones so I have come to you good people to help me. We were sent a list of upto date qualifications and their equivalent from the good old days. Does anyone know where to access this information and can you tell me the following: NNEB college diploma in Nursery Nursing (exam sat in 1993) - is this equivalent to NVQ 2 now. We are interviewing tomorrow and need to know whether this person will need to do more training or not. Please help, thank you.

I don't know whether this is in the right place - but I'm sure someone will move it if not. We are always on the look out for interesting places to visit with our Pre School (located in Cheshire). Getting a bit tired of the same trip to the farm every year - anyone any experience/ideas of places to go. Our children are 3-4+ yr olds, and we do like hands on if possible.
