Please could someone help me, I am wanting to put together an information pack for new starters or work experience staff. Instead of me inventing the wheel, has anyone already got one that they can share?. I know I will need to have operating times, policies, fire drills, who they report to, uniform, holidays & personnel belongings in to the pack but, am I missing any other important information? Help and advise would be greatly appreciated. :1b

We are a privately owned (myself) term time pre-school. For September I employed two new members of staff both already known to us and having worked relief hours for us. Remaining staff have started to raise concerns about 1 particular new member of staff, they complain continuously to my deputy (never me!). They feel she spends too much time around her key children, she only has 3, and isn't aware of the rest of the room. I myself have noticed this occasionaly and have asked her to ensure she paying equal attention to what is happening around her. I appreciate this isn't always easy! From my point of view she is still young and although level 3 qualified she still lacks…

I'm currently doing my EYPS and working with the baby room to develop some ideas that they have had recently to try and improve their room. One idea that they had was to ask for some double buggies so that they could take the babies for walks off premises. (our parents sign a consent form on enrolling agreeing to spontaneous trips off premises) I approached my manager about this as buggies would be useful outside in the garden too, and she came back with "under 2s are not allowed off the premises because the ratio goes to 1-1 for under 2s" is this true? or is she making excuses?? Outings 3.64 Children must be kept safe while on outings, and providers must ob…

Does anyone allow students to take photos of children whilst on work placement - with parents permission of course. I haven't up to now, but have had a recent request and wondered what others do.

I apologise for the length of this post but I need advice urgently My manager informed me that I am to have a disciplinary hearing on Thursday about the length of time it took me totake action regarding a POSSIBLE safeguarding issue. My manager is the CPO and I am the deputy CPO and we had been discussing the fact that a little boy had several existing injuries over the last 2 terms, several of which couldnt be adequately explained by his parents. On discussion she asked me to ring safeguarding to ask 'at what point should we be flagging this up as concerning?' AT NO POINT WERE WE RINGING TO MAKE A REFERRAL - we were just wanting advice Due to business and other deman…
