(competitor now has one and don't want to miss out on future clients) I was wondering if anyone knew the easiest way or site etc, as you can see I don't really know where to start. I have asked parents but its their time and have had no offers so its just me! Can you help? Big Sue

We are just about to move into our new room at the local school. Wonderful yes, storage, no. I am wondering if it is legal to scan all the old documents that you need to keep and have them on a disc instead of actually keeping then physical bits of paper. Anyone done that?

We just had the PLA in today who asked why we not using the outdoor area. We have a small patch of concrete as our outdoor area (exciting I know) It is covered with ice because of the snow and is lethal! We risk assessed that it was ridiculously dangerous to use it today so gave them extra time in our play hall where they can run around but it's inside. PLA not happy with this and said we should take them out so we did and within a couple of minutes children were falling over and hurting themselves, it was silly. I explained this but got "free flow should be available and children should manage their own risk taking" Whats everyones opinion on this??

Hi - just decided to close early today due to snow ( 3 instead of 6) It's impossible to staff as all schools have closed etc and the snow has continued to get deeper and heavier throughout the morning making the roads treacherous.
