How are peoples numbers? Has there been a birth rate hike? We are currently full with parents ringing almost daily asking for places now, and our September list is already full with a waiting list. I should be happy but I'm not . I hate turning people away, plus I like the flexibility of having a few open spaces.

Hi folks, I’m just wanting to share a worrying situation and wondering how often this happens. I am IAIM trained in infant massage and use the IAIM products for classes. A baby has had a reaction to the organic sunflower used in the session. The reaction was really quick, red and hot legs and feet and a very distressed baby and mother. The supplier has been contacted and a COSH listing requested, a new container of oil has been purchased and all other bottles have been destroyed. The original oil was in date, stored correctly and had been opened around 3 months ago, many babies have had oil decanted from this container and no one has had an reaction. I am pleas…

Incredibly sad to hear yesterday that the pre-school in the next village to us will be closing October half-term due to lack of numbers, manager said "just not financially viable" Mr S got his head bitten off when he said "oh that's good, you might get some of their children"...….maybe I will, maybe I won't, but who wants to see another good provision close - not me that's for sure There but for the grace of God...….

Being a bit of a nerd I guess I regularly look on the Ofsed site "Watchstead" which gives out inspection reports - found it useful to see what Ofsted latest thing is. I have gone today and only nursery schools are on there - the non-domestic and domestic premises categories have disappeared - anyone know why?

Sad to hear today that another Preschool local to me will be closing at Christmas - not able to deliver 30 hours funding due to hall being used for other things - they have been struggling for few months but have now decided it's not worth it as parents going elsewhere that can offer more hours.

so after many years of doing preschool there are some things that crop up that i haven't had to do before...today i suggested a mum took her child home and brought him back after christmas (oohps said the C word sorry!) I have NEVER seen a child have so much of a problem with any separation ( I mean like a foot away!) even my littlies with SEND do not have this much of a problem. We have been working with the family for a week but today was horrendous. It was only when we started investigating more that mum explained that they have moved country and house several times within the last 6 months, they are still in a temporary flat and just about to move in to their h…
