Hi Up until now we have always let children wear scarfs when outside we just tuck them inside their jacket/coat! Had a parent come in today who said at her childs other nursery they are not aloud to bring in scarfs due to health & safety?!! What does everyone else do?! I know I had my scarf and hat on today!!

Hi everybody Some time ago I downloaded a ladybird calculation activity plan that somebody kindly shared on the forum. I have adapted and used this in my setting but now want to use this as evidence for my current FD module and need to ask the person's permission to use it. Any ideas?
