What Is In The Childrens' Bags?

As a self-confessed (but recovering) control freak, I am experimenting lately with leaving the (very experienced and capable) staff team to get on with things when I need to get home and work on an assignment/do invoicing etc. Someone usually texts or emails to let me know if anything notable happens during the rest of the session, because they understand my need to know... Yesterday our deputy supervisor emailed about something else and then almost as a 'ps' says that when one of the staff opened a little boy's bag to help him put his indoor shoes away at home time, she found his mum's cigarettes and lighter inside his backpack - where they had been sitting in the cloakroom all morning within the reach of any inquisitive child who cared to go looking! Talk about sharp intake of breath! We had an incident of a child eating another boy's sandwiches out of his backpack during our free play session, but can you imagine going to the cloakroom and finding a child playing with a cigarette lighter? My brain was pinging around in my head like a cartoon character's! I've calmed down now - but I did envisage a Daily Mail type headline "Pre-school installs infra-red bag checking equipment to stamp out juvenile smoking habits"... Perhaps I need an "items not to be put in your child's backpack" policy - I haven't written a new policy in weeks! Maz
