Had a visit from some FD students, from different settings and one commented that we must have a touch policy, we ahve had Ofsted who did not say we needed one or would have it done, This is not for changing nappies but for everyday contact with child eg when they want a cuddle or sit on your knee or need comforting, and along the lines of never being alone while comforting a child... do you have one? sometimes I think if I have to do another policy i will scream........ just doing one for emergency closure (ie, break ins, no heating etc.), but need a bit of a push to start it. any examples of either policy greatly appreciated. feeling a bit fed up with …

As you may know from my other posts, things at the sessional pre-school where I work have been a bit fraught of late! It has now been suggested by the boss that we could: Alter the age of admission from 2years 9 months to 3 years - reason - to have less children in nappies and less fee paying children (a few non payers at the moment) as well as giving them an extra 3 months 'growth'.

I have been observing the set up in my new job this week and I have noticed that at snack time and during the lunch club, the children are not allowed to talk to each other. Once the children were all seated today at lunch time, I pulled up a chair and sat with them, talking to them about their sandwiches and foods they like. It was lovely because obviously I'm getting used to them and getting to know all about them. However, sitting with the children got me an odd look from the deputy and she told the children they had to stop talking. I immediately felt silly, removed my chair and went and sat away from them. The deputy then mentioned that the children are not allow…
