Hi all, I have been a member of the forum for a long time and previously taught in our school nursery/EYFS unit for 7 years. Since then I have had 7 years out of Foundation Stage with two lots of maternity leave and working as school SENCo and teaching in key stage 1. I now know that from September I will be back in Foundation Stage..... I am very excited, but also aware that lots will have changed and I am a bit ‘out of date’. So I am here to ‘ask the experts’ ..... where should I start with getting ‘back up to speed’? Thanks in advance....

Hello, I am writing with a request for advice. I have recently taken over the EYFS lead role in a special school and want to make sure we are fully compliant with all the regulations around mobile phone usage. I've looked at Keeping Children Safe in Education and Working Together To Safeguard Children, and while I can see that schools have to have a policy around phones, I can't see much in the way of specifics. I had it in my head that there were specific rules in the wake of the Vanessa George case, but maybe I got that wrong...

Hi all, We are looking into using an online system for booking our parents evening appointments this year. I wondered if anybody else had done this and if so what software you would recommend?

No I haven't gone over to the dark side This info is not for me! So what advice would you give a teacher who is new to foundation stage? (she's taught in the same school and has previously taught year 1/5 and 6) but has never been in reception and is feeling somewhat anxious !

I wonder if anyone can point me in the direction of guidance on school cleaning standards? I have a problem over cleaning in Reception and specifically the cleaning up of bodily fluids!! I've spent hours Googling 'cleaning up vomit in schools' expecting there to be some guidance but have found nothing! Our caretaker's idea of what's acceptable and mine are poles apart! :huh:
