Hi Had a query from a local setting. Wondered if you can help. Do any of you charge parents a fee to put their child on your waiting list? This setting has had parents not turn up to take their child's place. As have we this week. We do not charge a fee. Thanks

We are a charity pre school and have a leader (level 3), a deputy (level 3) and an assistant currentlyworking towards level 3. All our other staff are uinqualified. What is the requirement in Ofsted's eyes as far as levlel 3 staff are required, i.e if. say, the leader was off sick, is it OK to run with the remaining level 3 in charge and the working towards level 3 assisting? I believe that this is fine, but wanted to pick your brains to make sure.

Staff Apprasals

Hi I run a pre-school and have recently cut down on numbers to improve quality. However this now means I am always working directly with the children and no longer have spare time and staff to be able to conduct apprasals during sessions. Was wondering how other pre-schools manage this. The only solution I can see at the moment is to ask people to stay for a while at the end of a session for apprasals. However our budget is very tight and to find extra pay to fund this is going to be hard. What does everyone else do?

As I posted recently I am having a few building prob's (I'll update you on progress soon). But another query - does anyone out there have to share the toilets with other users or the public. this has been suggested by my local LEA and I have been told it is possible just need to change my practice. How does this work, how do you do it safely, how do you prevent escapees, and what about accidents with lots of cleaning up required? Sorry loads of questions.

Does anyone have any info about the way the Government are going to be allocating the grant. We have just been told that it will be dependent on the size of the setting and the overheads. We have been asked to provide accounts to the LEA. Has this happened to anyone else?

Arrgh! Spent 3 hours last night on H&S course and am now trying to get my head around all the things I need to do (in my spare time of course!!). One is COSHH. I want to list all the cleaning materials we have in nursery, handsoaps, washing up liquid, anti-bac spray etc. Apparently you then ring the manufacturer and they send you the coshh analysis info which you duly file in your dedicated coshh file...... Anyone got a data hazard sheet to start me off? Also, a list of all the things you have included in yours......... Thanks

I have been asked to draft a format for a regular information letter/booklett for parents. Has anyone got one to share so I can see the format amd what to include. I want it to be informative but not too formal and to look appealing to read. As ICT isn't my strongpoint I would really appreciate some ideas. Thanks.
