Yesterday I picked a six year old child up from school, and in the few minutes it took to greet the older children he lost sight of me, thought we'd gone without him and headed off to find us. His loss was recognised within those couple of minutes but it was thirteen minutes before he was located, safe and well, half way between school and my house. There are no roads to cross luckily and the path is busy with other school families, but the 'what-ifs' are horrifying. I followed my procedures, and I've written up the report, but my sleep deprived brain won't let me find out if I have to tell Ofsted or not? It's not in my procedures which makes me think not, but I feel …

Hi all, Had some electrical issues at nursery today and can't accept any children in tomorrow, no telling when the power will come back on. Had to call around to parents at 9PM to tell them, luckily they were all very understanding. Has anyone had this issue? Did you charge parents for they day? Did you pay staff for they day? One option I saw elswhere was offering parents an alternate day to make up for it, any thoughts?

Hi you lovely knowledgeable people, I've posted here a while ago when we were planning to set up a new Nature focused nursery and after a lot of work from an amazing team we are nearly there. We just had our Ofsted interview and are now planning to open our doors in January 2019 - Yeah! One of the less exciting jobs on my to do list now is to find suppliers for all those essentials, cleaning products, health and safety equipment (fire signs, First Aid etc), office stuff and of course nursery resources. Can anyone recommend good, reliable companies, ideally ethically minded (e.g. for 'green' cleaning resources)? I look forward to your replies. Kind wishes Po…

Hi, I'm wondering how others manage staff hours in Autumn when child numbers are low? We have started a reduced rota for staff temporarily but it is difficult to manage staff expectations around this so I wonder how other settings deal with this issue?

Hi, Do you allow staff to update their Tapestry observations at home? If so do you only allowed this on a setting's password protected, encrypted device? Where do we stand safeguarding wise? Many thanks.
