Taster Mornings
by Guest cheryl3- 8 replies
- 800 views
Hello everyone, When a new child is due to start our Pre School, we arrange a taster morning with the parents/carers. The parent and child come into the setting and spend the whole morning with us until the session finishes. Does anyone else do this? We find it sometimes makes it difficult having the parent around and gives the child false pretenses, making them think that next time they come their parent will be with them all the time again. We thought about asking the parents to come for the taster, stay a short while, leave the child with us and maybe collect early, if there is any problems we will contact them. Any ideas guys?

Personal Care Policy

Hi everyone, Please please don't think I'm being cheeky but I was wondering if anyone had a copy of a personal care policy that I could look at. I've read about these a lot but have no idea whats in them. Do you write in there that you change nappies on a one to one basis? Is this a policy for parents or staff or both?? Any help would be much appreciated ?Thank you Rapunzel

Can anyone help please? We are a infant school in cambridgeshire with a nursery. Our policy has always been to offer nursery places to children who are toilet trained (dry). Has this changed and do we need to be offering places to children regardless of whether they are dry or not? Thanks for help!

Hi Two of my staff have just completed first aid course on which they were told that it would be a good idea to keep a bottle of Calpol at the setting to administer to a child in case say their parents were some way away and we needed to reduce the child's temperature. They were told that we could ring the NHS Direct number to obtain authorisation to adminster Calpol if the parent cannot be contacted, and they have the power to overide others. They would give a reference number as authorisationl. Now I am wondering if this would be a sensible precaution in the light of a possible Swine Flu pandemic? However, what if the parent has not told you that they h…

Ict And Data Protection Anyone?

Hi everyone We have just been offered the chance to apply for an ICT grant on the proviso that we have 'a robust ICT and Data Protection policy' in place. Unfortunately we don't have any idea about what should be included in an ICT policy - does anyone have any advice on where we can look to find out what is recommended - we would rather not lose out on the grant for the sake of not having a policy! Many thanks!
