Hi Quick question for those of you who have kids club children if you do school pick up and have 8 children do you send one member of staff, if you are working on the one to one ration for 3 to 5 years can one member of staff take the children out for a walk? Where do we stand legally as we are within the ratio's but I know in a nursery we would not leave a member of staff alone with the children does this alter for kids club. Also if staff go out in their cars to pick up form school (they have appropriate car insurance) can they do this alone? I know childminders are alone and pick children up alone etc but was unsure where we stood with kids club as this is not an area…

We've just had a child confirmed with measles at our Nursery. The doctor said that he would notify the Local Authority. The EYFS says we must notify Ofsted but the Health Protection Agency (Government agency) says we inform Ofsted when there is "an outbreak" - Do I inform Ofsted or not yet? Also, any tips on informing Parents without creating panic would be gratefully recieved (usually with things like chicken pox we post a daily update on our notice board). Haven't dealt with this before - any help out there?

I have searched and searched and I can't see anywhere in the new statutory framework for the EYFS were it says that under 2's must be kept in groups of no more than 12. It definitely says it in the old standards but I cant find it in the new - am I missing it or has that criteria been removed or am I just going mad and it is glaringly obvious????!!! Please Help..................

Who's Property?
by Guest- 6 replies

I use a regular person for supply cover ( financially unable to offer a permanent contract) discussing with daughter today the fact that she keeps a daily diary, her choice, I didn't ask her to do it. She is a lovely lady, EASL, and her notes are quite basic, what she did during the working day, which child she helped etc, not actually that reflective but I was impressed that she decided to do this record for her benefit. However, we came to the question 'Who's property is it, for example, should she leave the setting in the future?' She writes them in her own time but has asked my daughter (and me) for feedback on it during work hours. I'm thinking observations ar…
