Hi I have in the past posted countless posts on here with regards to a particular staff member and to be honest there are a few changes but not many. Firstly we managed to get her to step down from deputy! Thank god. Secondly I have recently returned from maternity leave and some things really need addressing and although Deputy has tried a year later we are still in same boat. She is fantastic with the kids and has developed good relationships with them.

I know I should probably know the answer to this but I'm hoping someone can advise please. Unusually for me, (I know this is not often the case for many of you out there! ) I have had a staff member recently who has been absent for longer than the odd day. I do offer SSP only for staff but have never had to sort this before. This member of staff works so many hrs each day of the week. She had to leave work feeling unwell on Thursday. She went to the doctors but did not specify how long she would be off, just what she had (antibiotics for nasty cough) She then was off, Fri, mon,tues the following week ( she did not contact me, so I had to phone to see what was happen…

Hi all quick query is it now three or four years between inspections? I only ask as we had the inspection from hell in Feb 2010, despite complaining about our treatment and told we had a reason to be we were so disappointed with our grade which we have been stuck with all this time. Everyone around us, primary schools, secondary schools, other nurseries and childminders have all been done but we are still waiting. Getting bored of waiting now just want it over and done with, good or bad!!!
