We have just taken on a new member of staff to start in September and last night someone told me that her husband had been in prison for physically abusing his own children! She is 'almost' sure it was for that anyway...... The lady is lovely, has a clear DBS and has only been with her husband for 1 year after moving in to the area so this all happened before she met him - IF it happened.

Dear All, I'm looking for a system of tracking for nursery on which I can have all of the children and see at a glance within which month band they are working. At the moment we have a paper system but I'd like something I can do a bit more with, comparisions of groups etc. We would like to keep our current system of paper learning journeys, so am I right in thinking prams would be more suitable for us? Or something similar? Thanks
