It's the time of year for appraisals! But who does your appraisal if you are the leader and there is no committee? Does anybody have a format or can share any ideas?

Evening All We do regular visits for the local woods with our children. We have a outing policy, risk assessment etc. We have a member of staff that doesn't want to go on outings. This is because there was a report on Facebook recently about two teenage girls being approached in the woods by some teenage boys. We obviously understand their concern and thank them for bringing this to our attention. We will update our risk assessment but the committee agree that although unpleasant this sort of event could happen at any time on any outing and probably wouldn't happen where a group of adults are present at 10-11am. We feel the outings are part of our ethos an…

Does anyone in a small PVI setting employ an Early Years Teacher? What is their pay rate and what is their job description? I'm asking because I have a member of staff about to complete her EYT and is who starting to ask what I see her role as and what will I pay her. She wanted to do this qualification but I'm not sure I can afford her or in fact need an EYT. I do all the planning, assessment and tracking myself, mostly because I enjoy it but also because I do it at home, out of hours - not something I think she would be prepared to do.

Hi all, I am wondering if anybody has a template of a job offer letter that they give to new members of staff? We have received to references, so I want to offer the job subject to dbs check. I am just stuck on what information I need to add as I have never had to recruit before (new to my current role as Playleader) Any tips or advice would be appreciated Many Thanks, Emma

Do you allow staff to baby sit at weekends for children that attend your nursery? Also I have a parent that has asked if the child’s key worker can take the child home( child’s home) after nursery finishes as mum is having an operation. I Have checked statutory guidelines and it does say if a child is not picked up you must not take them home but this would be an arranged dropping off. The member of staff is willing to do it but want to see if this is ‘against any rules’.

The good news is I know how to get more men in childcare. The bad news is I need help and nobody seems interested. Where do you go if you want to find out about this whole "men in childcare" thing? I'd like a "one stop shop" for all men in childcare related things. News, research, support and features in one place. A page of news. Quick summaries of news stories related to the subject with links to the sources, usually newspapers/magazines. Upcoming conferences, TV programmes, quotes from politicians etc. A page of research. Let's gather all the research related to men in childcare in one place. Make it easy for people finding out more to get what they want. …

Hi. I have recently employed a member of staff with a chronic health condition, and I think it would be in both our interests to have an occupational health screen to understand how her condition may affect her work, what adjustment we can make etc etc. Would anyone have any recommendations for this please? We are in North Surrey. thanks

Me again! Our staff do like to keep us busy! Got a member of staff due a baby in September. I think it's likely she'll finish work end of July (term time only) and start leave after the summer break. We will need to have someone cover her leave. My question is this, when can you employ someone to cover maternity leave? Does the mother have to have already started her maternity leave? It would be handy to get someone in after May half term for example but would that be too soon? I'll give ACAS a ring tomorrow just for guidance. Honestly the week I've had I'm going to train for a career in HR...and I'm only a 'volunteer' Thanks All C…
