Hi all, Need to get something off my chest! Deep breath, a member of staff sent me a txt message saying she has hurt her back and wont be in for the rest of the week on Monday night. Am I getting old or am I the only one who does not think that this is very professional behaviour? Your thoughts on the matter would be gratefully recieved, thank you

Hi, Do any of you have a good invoice that explains the free entitlement on it? We are reviewing ours as we need to submit one to our LEA to examine and I think it needs better clarification. Have looked in the resources file but the previous one submitted was 2009. Thanks for your help.

Hi can anyone tell me if the manager of a committee run preschool can be the main contact person for Ofsted? My chair person has just stood down and she is currently the contact person. My thinking is that I would be better doing it as I am there every day and am aware of how to do the day to day running of the setting. Am sure I read in another thread that the manager was the main contact.Any advice gratefully received

Hi I am looking for a quality improvement tool to work through in my setting as a staff team to assess our environment. I have heard of ECERs and Wellbeing and Involvement scale (Leavers).

I know that this has been discussed previously and we came to the above conclusion but it's always good to have uptodate concrete information.

Hi all Well the deputy of the school club for which I am on the committee is awful at paperwork and filing. We have cheques for late booking fees in backs of cupbaords, I went in a few weeks ago and found old accident forms incident forms not filed away, paperwork in draws and not locked up and today a staff member has not been paid as she didnt hand in his bank details to treasurer and she now cant find them!
