I have been asked by the SLT to do a short presentation on EYFS Profile and the progress of the children in the nursery for Thursday. Anyone have any ideas what I could do as I was only emailed this afternoon about it and I have no idea where to start (I dont work Fridays so havent been able to speak to anyone at achool). Sorry if I have put it in the wrong place. Thanks

I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions to help us with a long term problem we have with a little boy refusing to use the toilet, even it means going all day without a wee. He is now 4 years old. He never used to like having his nappy changed. Now he won't use the toilet. He will now use the toilet if Mum takes him but that took a while. At home he will now use the toilet but it was an issue there too. We have tried decorating the toilet with things he likes, twice. Tried using a potty. Tried using the potty outside as he would go out in the garden with Mum which we didn't want to encourage. My gut feeling is not to make an issue of it which we are…

Hi I ve a lovely 2 year old little boy I ve cared for for the last 18 months who over the last week or so has developed a stammer.he s quite a gentle little fellow and quite sensitive at times but generally happy and easy going . sometimes he s worse than others ,especially when he s tired but seems to have difficulty getting out what he s trying to say,mostly at the start of a sentence. up until then his language had been developing fine and he can easily name things,likes to sing songs and can string simple sentences together.

Hi all I have been asked to put a list together of toys which help to develop language during play. I feel there are so many so just wondered if anyone had any favourites (for all ages) which they feel have helped in this area of learning in the past. I was thinking puppets/theatre, books, rhymes, cars etc. Thanks for your help. Hopefully if we get some new ideas we will be able to purchase them toys in the future. Regards. Netta

Hi everyone. I hope you won't mind me asking for some feedback. I am new to this forum. I have over the last year or so looked in but have not been brave enough to post, so here goes. I in my second year of my foundation degree and find myself struggling with a research project. My chosen subject is cookery with 2 and 3 year olds, and I would like to know your views. How often do you do cookery with children of this age? What would your main objective be? Do you use utensils specifically designed for young children? These questions may just give you an idea of the types of response I need, but just to hear your views will be of interest. Thank you

Tackling Upsetting Behaviour

Hello all We have been having a few behavioural issues at the moment with most of the children. The main ones being, not doing what's been asked of them, e.g. being told up to 5 times to stop rolling around on the carpet etc. the other being unkind to each other e.g. you're not my best friend today, I hate you, you can't come to my party, pushing, hitting out of frustration. In the past we've often had a couple of children doing this but now it's most of them! We've tried tactics such as praising kind behaviour, telling them that we are all friends at preschool and encouraging 'good listening', discussing being kind and unkind. Does anyone have any successf…

If anyone listens to podcasts or iplayer of Woman's Hour this morning there was a discussion from about 10.30 until 10.45 about brain based learning, the differences in learning styles of girls and boys and why boys need to play fight!
