Guest Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 head has finally got round to organising next year and wants all 36 children in within 5 days. 26 new children to start, so 8/9 start each day over first 3 days, with all 26 in wednesday and thursday, then older ones join them on friday. 3 staff. i feel this is too fast, and doesn't allow time to support tearful ones, or anxious adults. what do you all do? do you have them in for while 3 hours straight away too? our reception class do a week of mornings, a week of afternoons, then full-time. so ours are in and doing whole session before them, which seems a bit odd...............x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 How many intakes do you have? My children start on their 3rd birthday if parents wish to pay for sessions - if not the term after their 3rd birthday. Last September I had 7 children who returned to nursery (2013 school cohort) plus 12 new children and they all came in on the first day! I usually have a higher ratio of 'old' children to new starters - so it was quite a shock. Over the course of the year children start as they reach, or after, their third birthday - so all very 'staggered'. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_4562 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 We have 1/2 the class in for the full 3 hours on alternate days for 3 days each - so on Tuesday of week 2 they are all in. It's quite quick but I it does work fine. All children are new to us in the September - we only have 1 intake. And the class is randomly split into 2 with a mix of boys and girls.
