I am worried about the changes in our continuous provision for 3 - 4 year olds i.e. What we would or wouldnt be able to have out each day. Thanks

Hi I've been asked my the pre-school manager to sort out the staff files as I'm their Chairperson.

Thinks that come to mind are: Training certs and a list of training accessed or ongoing training. Their CRB cert (or does this break data protection) Past references, CV Any verbal or written warnings given. Staff Contact and Emergency Details. Health declaration.

hi every one, bit of a tricky one here!! ive had a complaint about a staff member from a parent who happens to be a staff member also! apparently when taking children to a visit yesterday she swore in the car then questioned child about personal issues other staff told her she didnt want to discuss ,the child got upset and mum was livid, then she ivoked the whistlblowing policy and said the staff in question has roughly handled a baby the same day-others have substanciated this. the staff member thinks she is being picked on as feels a grudge is held, she cried all day when given letter to attend a meeting, was going to go with final warning what do you think??

Hi I have been given a SWOT form to fill in by my early years advisors for staff develpoment ... before i give these to the staff i want to be clear in my own mind how you fill them in... i may be being a little slow here but there are 4 boxs around the outside which have headings off strenghs,weaknesses, opportunities and threats and in the middle job title.... i'm not sure what they mean by threats.... i cant expect my staff to fill them in when i'm unsure myself.... does anybody else use these for their staff....

The head teacher of the school is going to help a bit with the advert (the girl is only with us till September then goes up to school so hoping whoever gets the job will apply for the school position too!) but still need some idea of what we are looking for... A current member of staff is interested in applying and has asked me what would be involved - to be honest I am not sure (I took over as leader …
