Interview Help

Hi all I applied for a job with my county council for an Early Years Practitioners role and I've got through to the interview stage, but I need a little bit of help. The original job advert said that I would need knowledge of the EYFS (which I already have alot of), the National Daycare Standards and the Surestart Childrens Centres Agenda. The daycare standards and the childrens centres agenda I cannot find. I'm guessing the Children's Centres Agenda is the Every Child Matters document? I do really, really want this job, so help please!

Sorry about topic title, couldn't quite words to explain what I want!! Basically wonder if anyone can recommend a story for a 4 year boy who has just become the "middle child" as baby sister born a couple of weeks ago. Mum quite upset that her normally loving boy has been quite cross and angry with her despite what she does. He is fine with the baby and his older brother, just seems to be having problems with the adjustment in his position in the family may be. I have absolutely tons of books, but can't think of one off the top of my head that might be a good story for her to read as a catalyst to him talking about it all.

Last year we just did a selection box and a child was really upset because it wasn't what was on his list. I'd like to give them something from Pre-school, but Santa is booked now.

I am working with two year olds and am really really struggling ... I have never felt so anxious and frustrated ever!! I feel such a failure. Basically transitions and routines in general are one challenge but also dealing with the copy cat screaming, running away, banging cups, and plain ignoring anything I say that sends the room into total chaos in seconds and no matter how many times I try to distract first then have to say no, stop or resort to moving children away, taking away cups...feeling increasingly out of control myself (which I know doesn't help!) ...I feel such a failure there are three staff in the room which on paper is correct (minimum) for the…
