Only had less than a week off and already my brain has stopped working! Thanks in advance

Does anyone do group toileting as in you have a specific time for when you take children to the toilet. At say 10:30 - 11:00. Our children cannot access the toilets themselves because we are in a shared community centre and they are on the other side of the building. Staff therefore have to escort them. We have an extra member of staff to take on this role although staff take it in turns during the session so that they are not on continuously doing this. Although we seem to be in the toilet all of the time and get very little else done. I know Ofsted probably don't like group toileting at a specific time especially with what it stipukates in the EYFS and I'm not keen on i…

Hi all, I was wondering what sorts of things you monitor in your nurseries to ensure the quality of provision. There's the obvious things like planning, learning journeys, menu, risk assessments... but what other sorts of things do you keep an eye on and how?? Thanks!

Settings In Cricket Pavilions?
by Guest- 4 replies
- 1.4k views
I've been searching for premises for a nursery for ages without success and a potential share of a cricket pavilion has just come up. Does anyone work in a pack away setting in a cricket club pavilion ? If so, I would be vey grateful if you could highlight any particular positives or negatives, or give any general feedback as to the mutual benefits. If anyone would be willing to share any 'ball park' figures of rental charged this would also be extreemly useful. Any comments / advice from anyone would be very welcome. Thank you.
