Staff Handbook?
by Guest- 19 replies

Hello everyone I have stolen many tips and tricks from this forum over the years and one of those things recently was the handbook that was posted - i kind of re-jigged it , personalised it and used it to show the committee as I would like to use it. Well I have a committee member (whom incidentally is a random member of the village-not a parent) who is questioning everything I present, which is ok, I am all up for discussion and am happy to talk about stuff......but (for those with long memories my Adm-Manager situation has been sorted with my role now being defined as Nursery Manager and hers as Nursery Administrator)..........incidentally, and I am aware that this …

so sorry but really feel the need to rant, i am deputy manager of a nursery that is commitee run. The manager is never there for one reason or another and i am left to manage the staff do all the admin, chase fees, rotas etc. I am also the senco, keyperson, am responsible for overseeing all the planning, responsible for completing the SEF, updating registers etc. whilst being in ratio. The manager has just come back after 2 weeks away and despite me holding the fort and not having any major disasters (thank god) is having a go at me because she has had to come back and do some work, i.e. sort out sessions wanted by parents for the children who are about to come into gover…

Hi all, I'm posting this topic here to keep it "private" and in the hope you can advise me... As some of you may remember a client left recently and I've been weighing up the pros and cons of giving up childminding as, at the moment, I have one term time only, 5 days a week, mindee plus before and after school clients. A job offer sort of fell into my lap, school based, 25 hours etc BUT it would mean letting this one family go so, wanting to be fair to them, I told them what I was considering. They've come back to me with an incredibly generous offer and I don't know what to do Having looked into day Nursery fees and discovered that it would cost th…

What have I done wrong? I tried to log onto site, and got to the home page, but the handy little menu of last 20 posts that used to sit on the right hand side of my screen has disapeared. I also struggled to find the "sign in" that used to appear towards the top of the screen. I am sure this is just me having a "senior" moment, but I have no idea what I have done. Please please can some helpful soul let me know how to get my old home page back??? I can't survive without my thrice daily fix, and am struggling with this strange layout.
