Just need to have a bit of a moan. At home time parents come into the classroom and we hand their child over to them. If someone other than the expected adult is collecting them it has to be written on a signing out sheet by the childs parent. I was on a course the other day and we had a supply teacher in. A childs grandmother came to collect him and her name was not on the list - she regulary collects him but the supply teacher did the right thing and checked with our nursery nurse that he was ok to go with nanna. The nursery nurse was phoning another parent who had not put a name on the list. The nanna was waiting only 2 or 3 mins but became very aggressive saying she s…

HI This is probably in the wrong place, its kind of a training question, but not.... lol i want to go on a first aid course, it runs on a thurs 6-9 for three weeks, i have been told i can go on it for free (as part of funding in Cheshire area) but my nursery will not pay me for it, nor give me time back for doing it. If i did it in the working day (i can't however as there is not one in the working day), but if i did do it in the working day then i would get time back or get paid for it... so what's the difference with me doing it in my own time. Am i wrong to assume i may have got paid for it (or at least time back). and the other thing is in the main…

Okay, well im way new here lol, but thought id ask your opinion I started my job about 7 weeks ago, as a senior nursery officer. My role entails that i work under the deputy manager and nursery manager, i am based in pre-school room, but also have office duties etc... although most the time i am in my room with the children. A couple of issues are arrising, firsly staff can not accept that i am 'third in charge' and thus pay little attention to me when i have to assert the 'senior' side to me and my role. how do i overcome this? There is one member of staff who has taken an instant dislike to me, i have now found that she went for my job (when it was adver…
