Just wondering whether anyone is currently or has been self employed as 'early years' supply practitioner in committee run pre schools/playgroups? (not supply via an agency) - if so I would love to discuss this with you further. This is an area I want to investigate. I am aware that in my local area most early years settings are Pre schools and not the large 'chain' nurseries. I also know that supply work in the day nurseries is done via using an 'agency' but in committee led pre schools it is done by using parents/volunteers/committee members to 'fill in' for staff absence to keep costs down - BUT the big headache for Pre Schools is the continual problem of using in…

But now I have received our LA scores and they fluctuate a lot from 30 % to 80% GLD. The national average is 51%. So straight away we are quite below the national average, whereas usually we are on par with it. Also the schools that have scored 80% in our LA- are they really telling us that they are 30% higher than national in a year when the bar has been significantly raised, when last year, they were only a little higher than national. I don't think so. So to people looking at the data, our eyfs looks like it has gone bac…

Morning all, Can anyone tell me if I need to get my deputy to complete the EY2 suitable person check from OFSTED? I have a complete EY2 for myself and will be getting one for the other manager I job share with but she will only be working 3 days a week when she returns from maternity leave. Therefore, when she isn't here and I am not here, do I need my deputy to hold an EY2? Sorry if that's a bit confusing but I just want to get it right. Don't need OFSTED knocking on my door!! TIA
