Hello, I have been off work for a year whilst i took maternity leave and i am set to go back to work in a little over a week. Today i had a meeting with the nursery owner and nursery manager to discuss my return and in this meeting i learnt the following: * The pre-school room that i am returning too (and had worked in prior to maternity leave) is an absolute shambles!. when i went on maternity leave they promoted a member of staff to room leader, but apparantly this member of staff can 'talk the talk, but not walk the walk' and all things fell behind especially childrens learning journals.

Hi All, Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful sunshine and not suffering too much! Anyway, I have been having issues with one of our children who keeps hitting out at other children. This is generally over sharing but can often be totally unprovoked. It appears to be getting worse and I have our SENCO and his keyperson on board trying to manage this behaviour. Long story short, today he has not had a good session at all and when speaking to him, he tells me his mum has said that if he gets hit by another child he is to hit back! This shocked me as the parent has always told me that she tells him the complete opposite in fact. Has anyone else had to de…

Hi all, Im looking for advice from people that have nurseries on school sites. Can you tell me how you came across these sites?

Just wondered how everyone is coping with this heat B) Morning sessions are fine as we freeflow 'til about 11am and it's been lovely to be out. They all have sunhats etc.But in the afternoon it's just far too hot. . We have some shady bits but it's impossible to make them stay in it and keeping them inside just makes them stir crazy!! I would love to know how everyone else is managing! This time last year I just wore waterproofs

Hello I found today that a few of our local childminders have been and still are telling the parents of the child they mind that they can not do any longer than a 3 hour session with Pre school.

This doesn't seem right to me....am I missing something?
