Our local school has just announced that they will be delivering the 15 hr provision from Sept by only offering 2 full days plus one half day session, ie a full time place for 5 days a week will be split between 2 children. This has caused real umbridge with many parents locally, and I just wanted a quick straw poll to know if your local schools are offering EITHER A) 2 full days plus one half day (i.e 2 x 6.25 hrs plus 2.5 hrs) OR B ) 5 mornings plus one afternoon/ or 5 afternoons plus 1 morning (6 x 2.5 hrs) Or C) 3 hr am sessions or 3 hr pm sessions( to include a lunch) (5 x 3 hrs) or D) anything else As I have been elected to the LEA Schools Forum…

Hello - I really, really meant to call ofsted today to find out the answer to this , but didnt quite get 5 seconds to do it !!!! In a pre-school adult to child ratio and qualifications . If I have 4 members of staff working together, how many need to be trained to L3 ? I think the eyfs states that the person in charge should be at least L3 and half of all other staff but but with 4 that doesnt quite work as you cant have half a person - anyone help ?????

This is the 2nd year she has done this - she was told last year that it should have gone through committee first but she was given the benefit of the doubt as she claimed it was a surprise present from family. How should I deal with this - I feel mean as she does work hard but the reason she has given is that they can't afford to go abroad in the holidays - nor c…
