We have several children that have put asthma as a condition on their registration form. When parents have been questioned the have said no little jonny only needs his inhaler at home. We are a bit concerned about this. I want to devise a letter to go to parents saying something along the lines of you have informed us that your child has asthma. please ensure that they always bring their inhalers. on a seperate sheet write what they have and then sign to say we have discussed this with them. Does anyone have something they already use. all we do at the moment is fill in our standard medication form. I have downloaded a sheet from asthma uk which might wo…

We have an autistic boy in early years who is becoming more aggressive and has caused injury to a member of staff and a child....mild to child, quite bad bite to staff. Obviously we are dealing with this in consultation with various agencies and an IEEP is in place. However someone has suggested we need a risk assessment because of this child's behaviour. What do you think? Title seems impersonal. Should I just pull our strategies together in a document called something like BehaviuorManagement Procedure for xxxxxxxxxx. Think the suggestion has been made to protect the school if another incident occurs. Any thoughts anyone?

Does any one have a staff absence policy? Do it set down what you consider to be a reasonable ammount of absence per year and what do you do if staff exceed this.... Do you differentiate between time taken off as staff are ill and time taken as their dependents are ill? I have staff who take at least one day, often more, off a month for one thing or another...and when you add them together it can mean that every week someone is off and it is crippling my own motivation and the overall progress we can make and means I cant get on with my own 'admin' work as I end up having to cover - so things like policy revisions, SEF, supervisons, parent meetings etc etc all have…

Hi all, I was hoping to send this leaflet out to parents in our setting. It has been adapted from an article on the forum and I would like to share and ask for feedback from you before sending it - is there anything else you would add? It is quite alot of reading - i don't know whether to shorten and add some clip art or pics instead. See what you think. Thanks Parents behaviour management tips - fsf.docx

Hi i am a teacher in a school based nursery. We have currently just gone over 26 children in the mornings and so now have 3 members of staff. My question is.. how many more children can we have? If a reception class goes over 30 they need another teacher is this right? If within a nursery session if it goes over 30 would this be the same or would the 1:13 ratio just continue therefore we could have up to 39 children before employing another member of staff? The reason I ask is that as the teacher it is my responsibility to plan for and complete assessments for the children and it just seems unmanageble to have that many children within a session then possibly the same…

After Sunnydays post in 'TV tomorrow' I nipped off to find the clip and also found this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2276411/Rhiya-Malin-Mothers-anger-cover-daughters-death.html#axzz2KUTn1aEh I think it raises some interesting points (especially if you have to deal with difficult staff who won't work to policy) and is a strong talking point for staff meetings The TV programme is on on Monday 8pm Channel 4

Hi all, We have been asked by an employee/parent to provide daily information sheets available to all our parents - she suggested including a tick box type form with 'how much my child ateat snack, at lunch' 'nappy changing information - 'wet, soiled' and an 'any other information' box. We are a Pre-school for children aged 2-5. This was brought up at our committee meeting and our Chair (non-parent) and Treasurer (parent) thought this would be a good idea. Both parents attended other nurseries when their children were babies and said this is the done thing. I however, am not so sure. I feel it will take time away from the children. The response was that it can be fil…
