Hi everyone, I have been offered the chance to top up my BTEC Level 1 Forest Skills award with a four-day course in Bridgwater, Somerset. This is the college that ran my other qualification and they were fantastic. Funded greatly by my LA. Thing is, there is no funding, as yet, for this new level, but I am so keen to do the next stage and it will enable me, I hope, to lead teaching sessions for adults and children, not only at my own setting but in others too. I am hoping my proprietor might fund half of the cost - £500. Has anyone done this course? If so, what did you think of it? Honest opinions, please! Thanks! Lesley

Do people present all their policies that relate more directly to the staff than the children/childcare in the setting in the same file as those relating directly to the childcare? I know that it's a bit of a woolly division of policies and procedures for most of the time but there are a handful of individual policies and procedures, e.g. staff grievance procedure, supervision/PPR procedure, that aren't listed under the Welfare Requirement headings of the EYFS and I'm wondering where people store them? Are people using these Welfare Requirements headings for their Operational Plan now or, as I have before, used the ECM headings? Or am I just making a mountain o…

I was just wondering how all day pre-schools manage sun cream. I was thinking that parents could be responsible for applying sun cream in the morning and we would top up at lunch time. Do all of your children bring in their own sun cream or do you have a supply and they all have the same one?? Also if you supply the sun cream do you charge the parents?? Thanks in advance of your replies!!

I just wonder if anyone could help me out - where do you record concerns about children they are not big enough concerns to be a safeguarding issue on their own, eg a bruise or mark where the parent seems to have a good explanation, a change in behaviour or delayed development. Would everything however small go in the safeguarding confidential folder, or would it go in an 'incident book' or in the child's own records - only to be transferred to a confidential folder if it looks more serious? My problem with it going in an incident book is that if a picture starts building up about this child it could be potential quite confidential information, but if it is put in …
