Could someone tell me if existing staff need to have DBS done if they still have the traditional CRB. I asked my early years advisor who didn't think I needed to update. I also contacted Ofsted who said they are not able to advise. Bit worried we will be pulled up on this. Thanks

I have a member of staff who just does not comprehend 2 year olds regarding their ages & stages of development. I have put lots of support in place, yet her expectations still remain far too high.

Despite putting lots of things in place for support/learning, she still talks inappropriately to children, such as saying 'your bad behaviour'.... Or 'stop it, I said stop it now.' I have done supervisions. Other staff members feeling uncomfortable. Wondering what my…

Good morning you lovely lot I need help please. Our manager is new (September) and as I am yet to do her appraisal I need some questions I can ask the staff to get an overview of how they feel she's doing. Its a small team of 5 in a church hall. Previous manager still works there part time, job sharing with the 5th staff member. I dont go in very often so need to know the kind of things I'm looking for.

I'm the manager of an 84 place setting, we're now in the summer term and our wage bill is 65% of our turnover, so today I had one pregnant staff member get signed off for a 5th week in a row and the staff member I brought in to cover her tell me 'I'm pregnant but might not have it but I cant decide so might get signed off for 8 weeks so I can decide',, I know all about employment law so I will comply completely but this will mean bringing another staff member in, so our wage bill will raise to 69%, this makes us financially unsustainable as we will be paying sick pay and cover, I know no one can give me the answer but I just need to vent,, I am going out of my mind!! xx

Hi, I am currently in the process of setting up a new setting (pvi) and am a little confused as to how holiday pay works with staff. We are looking to employ staff for term time ie 38 weeks a year. We will be running a holiday club but intend to run this ourselves or offer it as overtime. Does anyone have any experience of this - what staff are entitled to and what (if any) we have to pay as don't want to fall foul of the rules right at the start ??? Many thanks
