Policy On Parents Evenings
by Guest- 2 replies
- 661 views
Hi Does anyone have a policy about Parents Evenings? If so could I take a peek? We are a sessional pre school who rent the local church hall. We are holding a parents evening in the summer term so we will be paying for the hire of the room and staff time. My concern is that -I know that some parents are not together and have a feeling that they may request separate meeting times / dates. What do you all do? I think our local school states ONE meeting per child, and leaves it up to the parents to decide whether both parents or one parent attends. I am concerned that if we try to accommodate everyone's individual requests we are going to be making a rod for our own b…

Eyfs Admission Policy - Birth Order?
by Guest- 16 replies

Hi everyone, Great to be part of this forum. I'm chairperson of the management committee of a preschool and we are currently working on updating our policies in line with EYFS. We are a popular preschool with quite a long waiting list. The problem we are facing right now is the criteria - Birth order. Our current admission policy first of all states that the child should be living in the area, then we go on to Looked after children, followed by Birth order. We are now finding that this seems a little unfair as a child could have been on the list for ages but is then pushed down the list because someone older comes into the area. The next problem is th…

Dont know if anyone remembers but a few weeks ago I asked if anyone had an abuse against a staff member policy - well the abuse has now taken place we had the mum in yesterday shouting and swearing in front of the children and then she followed a staff member down to our primary school and stood behind making loud complaints and swearing - needless to say all staff members are feeling quite intimidated at the moment and we made the decision to call the police! The mum has yesterday written a letter, which i have now logged as a complaint and I have re-written a new complaints procedure to incorporate the EYFS (another thing I asked about ages ago) which I have added …

Last week we had our parents evening ... we have these twice a year and usually get under 50% attendance. Parents have 10 minute appointments with keyworkers (as well as our daily contact, obviously). Parents go through Special Books, Scrap books and records for children and discuss their child with keyworker. They also mingle with staff, each other, the Nursery owners (me and my family!!) We have 84 children on role and had 51 appointments for children!!! we were so pleased that our parents have recognised all the hard work of our staff and see that we do more than 'a bit of singing and mucking about with sand!!' - Such an acheivement to have so many come for the ev…

Hi all, need some of your help and advice pretty please I was at an informal 'meeting' to discuss and update setting policies (prior to committee meeting) with the leader and ex-chair (who is now a member of staff but does admin and had written/updated policies for EYFS in Sept) as the policies did not reflect what the leader and I were writing (or wanting to write) in our SEF i.e. hardly any mention of EYFS in policies, jus added completely tokenistic, and some policies were very unclear and confusing... anyway I noticed during SEF session there was NO mention of ECM which I found quite strange but when I said to other staff member she didn't seem bothered and just adde…

Hi all! Does anyone have a specific temperature at which to send a child home? At present, we simply keep the child's temperature stable using Calpol and keep the parents informed, with them collecting if they feel they need to. Was wondering whether to have a 'cut off' temperature at which they HAVE to collect, but don't know what this would be? Any ideas?
