Hello everyone I am looking for some tips and advice! In September we had a new intake of 2s into our 2-3 room, 4 or 5 of these children took a little while to settle in. Since September there has been a member of staff leave (there are only 2 - 3 staff in the room) which has caused things to be a little unsettled for the children as we have had to use supply staff. Because of this the new intake of 2s and the 4 or 5 children who struggled to settle are now a little bit all over the place! Although rules, boundaries and structure is enforced the staff are struggling as the children will not sit down at group time for a story or songs, they aren't playing properly…

I'm sure i used to have an ofsted document that listed all the sorts of records you have to keep but can't find it anywhere. Searching the government website is useless so i'm hoping one of you lovely people will know what i'm on about and either put a link on here or tell me exactly what it is called so i can google it. Thanks in advance

Hi I am just looking at updated our policies and have seen, collected and read a lot of information on the prevent duty. May sound stupid but I'm not sure where or how exactly to fit it in to our safeguarding policy? Does it need to be in any others? I use the PLA policies but for some reason it will not recognise my code to see updates. We currently have 35 policies to update and I'm so confused! ANY advice is most welcome

Does anyone have one please? I'm doing one ready for tomorrow and got the obvious risks of falling while carrying - they won't be walking around with them cutting themselves etc - I'll be with them, they'll wear gloves etc hurting others - we'll be in a space 1:1 What else do I need to add - I'm sure there is LOADS more lol!

Is anyone else using tablets to carry out observations? If so do you have a policy for the use of tablets in the setting? I cant seem to find any on google, so I was hoping some one would be kind enough to share their policy :-) Hope someone can help.

We have a grassed area and a paved area. Uesterday it was torrential and the grass was like a Marsh so we used our covered area only even so our floor inside wooden was filthy and this included our rugs ? we have big mats and get children to wipe our feet but this isn't going to cut it! The children also in general come to thr setting with muddy shoes from their walk to us. How does everyone tackle this , a change of shoes for inside ? Wellie boots ? Slippers ? Changing shoes seems like such a mass job especially for our 2 year olds and we have free access to thr outdoors so would be a nightmare . I'd love to have just no shoes inside but we have a wooden floor no n…
