Has anyone had the working together to safeguard children training? We are currently escorting children to the toilet using to members of staff as the current manager insists on safeguarding the staff. Does everyone else do this?

we are a sessional pre-school, run by a commitee. our current commitee will be stepping down from sept, and have managed to find 2 people to replace, a treasurer who's child will not be starting pre school for another 12 months (so we will hardly see the new treasurer ) and a secretary who is not really a 'paperwork' person, and i dont think im being too harsh in saying they are not the sharpest tool in the box. so my worry is -we have no chairperson, we will have a treasurer we will never see (and who doesnt have a child in playgroup -so will not be up to date and current with whats going on day to day) and a secretary (who we will see on a daily basis, but who will…

Not sure how to write this up until now I have been able to give chidren what hours and days they request. Looking at September then January and Easter I think I am full. Had phone call today for someone just moved to area wants to join in September which yes I have a space but then I wont have a space for children in January if they all take up their spaces. Getting well confused about how I should be managing admissions. We are a pre school voucherable children can attend 9-12, 9-1 or 9-3 and 2-3yrs attend 1-3 tues, wed, thurs. Hope this makes sense to someone. Buttercup

I was looking to get feedback on uniforms for staff. How often do you provide uniform per year and how many items per employee and what do they wear? Also any good suggestions about where you can get good quality, long lasting uniforms.
