I do hope I've got this right - it has taken several attempts. I am currently working on a new Early Years Policy for our nursery and Foundation stage class with the EYFS Manager and I wonder if anyone out there has already done all the hard work? and is willing to post a copy on this site - or suggest where I might look - I don't and won't be able to copy it word for word but it will give us a starting point - just headings would give us a leg up - thanks g

Surely if they are sick enough to be off school, then they shouldn't be allowed to mix with our children who the…

Hi all, For many, many years we have been recording our incidents and accidents in simple triplicate copy small books which staff and parents sign. However these books constantly fall apart and I file them in date order in another folder. I now find out that all accidents recorded should remain in the book. What sort of books do other settings use, I know that the psla have one but you have an entire page which can only be used for one child at a time and I don't know how many pages each book contains. Please can somebody help? Thanks
