Hello there. I run a Playgroup for 3 - 4 year olds, and we recently had an inspection (in June). The inspector commented on the fact that some of the children still found it difficult to share, and suggested that this was usually as a result of a poor settling in procedure. So I was wondering if any of you more experienced folk could cast an eye over our settling in procedure and maybe suggest how we could make it better. At present, we settle all 24 of the children in over 4 weeks (September) by staggering the intake. On the first day we usually take about 6 - 8 children (usually the quietest ones which we would have observed on our open day). We then ad…

I am sure, quite a while ago, there was a posting relating to how long we keep paperwork. It was quite a long list - including accounts, childs attendances, incidents books, payments, funding, milk claims forms, Pre-school registration certificates, staff details etc, etc, etc. I rememer being quite shocked as to how long some items should be kept. One of the items was to be kept for 40 years!!! Well, I have decided that my house just can't take the strain any more --- got to sort it out, stop hoarding and THROW STUFF OUT!!!! (shred the paper work first, of course) I have owned my Pre-school for almost 25 years and I still have ALL the paper work. If anyone can r…
