Right guys I've just registered FREE yes I said that word we don't here very often! with a new management software company... Ok it's new and I haven't had a good play yet but it looks smart. I have been looking round for a management software program as it's mayhem with all this at present, I found a few companies for between £300-£1000 then I came across this new company who's just coming onto the scene! price ranges vary and are extremely competitive for small business or like most of us have no money lol but if you are a registered charity the whole system is free!! you can even sign up to the premium package for free. I carnt give you feedback on it as I s…

We have got a child that will be deferring reception until next year. The parents only reason is that he was born on the 30th Aug. The school have agreed this even though I sent over a report saying that he is fine and very capable of starting school with his peers. Mum wants him to come to us 4 days a week (9-3pm) from September. We have a maximum session of 3 days or 2 full 2 half days. Otherwise parents book loads of sessions and its to full on in preschool to be there full time. Now if I say no to the 4 days she will book a day at his own nursery where he has been going since a baby. What do you think?

Hi everyone, I would so much appreciate it if anyone has a face book / social media policy that I could see. A member of our committee set up an invited members only page but obviously I need a policy to support it and I'm starting from scratch! Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance :huh:

Hi all, One of my ladies is cutting her hours in half after half term then leaving at the end of term......she handed her notice in at the beginning of this half term at which point I said to her to cancel any courses booked onto as obviously we wouldn't benefit from them (not in those words lol) anyway she said she would still like to attend 2 full day courses and would pay for them herself which was fine but I have noticed on her time sheet this week that she has put down 6 hours pay for the course - now am I being off by saying we shouldn't be paying her or as she is still with us for another half term should we pay her? I can't 100% say whether when I agreed to h…

Having looked at our dwindling bank account and wondering what was going on, I have been comparing numbers/hours/attendance with the last couple of years. We are a full daycare setting and we are busy, full for nearly all sessions in our three rooms. This is why I couldn't work out where the shortfall in income was coming from. I've realised now, that we are losing our 'full daycare' children - those that attend for long days - we are open 8am - 6pm. We have lots and lots of children who attend for their 15 hours of funding, including 12 funded two-year-olds. But where are the professional parents who need day care? This also means we are very quiet in the holidays …

I am just looking for a bit of advise from you wonderful people. At the end of March the committee of the pre-school where I have been manager for the past 6 years tried to demote me and promote two other staff members so we were all acting managers, this didn't work as I have a contract which states that I am the manager now they are not talking to me and everything now goes through the new deputy manager, who doesn't tell me anything and emails the committee from home so I cant read what is being said. The committee have never been interested until March. Any advise would be great as I am so fed.
