Help!

We've just heard that we are going to have our Ofsted inspection in February, and have found out that we are supposed to have a 'behaviour incident book'. We are not sure that any of our children's behaviour warrants being recorded and are also worried that this is going to encourage staff to start labelling children. Can anyone tell me what sort of 'incidents' we are supposed to include, and how to share this information with parents in a sensitive way. Thank you

Just been going through various Ofsted reports, sad I know, to find out what my local inspectors are reviewing as I am being Ofsteded in Feb. One thing that seems to have come to light is that they would like to see a policy/procedure should one of our staff is accused of child abuse. Has anyone got anything I could use or look at please? Many thanks Nikki

Hi - I'm currently teaching in a Reception class in a combined school. The class has twelve reception aged children and also has nine nursery children. For the last two years I have had a permanent classroom assistant. There are three assistants in the school. However, due to unavoidable budget cuts the school has to let one assistant go. I am hoping that someone might be able to tell me if there are any legal requirements relating to staff-child ratios in a class like mine so that I might be able to make a case for keeping at least part of my very valued helper!

Asthma And Eczema Policies

I work in a Foundation Unit (3-5 yrs), represent the non teaching staff as a governor and also have a child within the setting. I am getting a little frustrated as I can not seem to kick start anyone to write an asthma and eczema policy. It is on the ‘to do’ list but since more children are being admitted with these complaints, I would feel that as a mum and nursery nurse it would promote good practice and give staff and parents more confidence, especially with the staff who are dealing with children. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or any examples that I could put under their noses? Their was some talk about contacting the school nurse but the pre-school children …

Hi Everyone I'm currently doing OU Foundation Degree and my next assignment is on Parents as Partners. We do have a policy in my setting along with all the legal stuff, but I am interested to know how other settings work with parents and what they include in their policy.
