Hi In Nov/Dec Under 5's Magazine, there is reference to 'a special report in Nursery World (12 October, 2006) which details how private providers can continue to offer free sessions without facing bankrupty by restructuring their fees'. Has anybody seen this article? Would be interested to see what it says.

Home Visits

I am currently developing our 'settle-ins' for new children. How many of you make Home Visits before a child starts? What are the implications of this, and do you have a Policy, e.g. is it just one person who visits - if so, what is your lone working policy? What happens during the visit? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Staggered Drop-off/collection Times
by Guest- 2 replies
- 1.3k views
Do any of you belong to nurseries who have a staggered drop-off/collection time between sessions? My nursery have always had 1 o'clock as the collection and drop-off time for children who are not staying all day. How wonderful it would be to have a short gap between the 2, to spend quality time with parents, and to set-up activities, etc. Has anyone ever been in a nursery who have introduced the staggered times? I can see that this would be fine for new parents, but what about the ones who have always brought or collected their child at that time?
