Thank you so much for the reply. Do you include all of the areas of learning in your feedback and reports?

Hello, just wanted to get some idea of whether your Early Years Settings/Pre Schools write reports for the children going off to school. Do you write them and give a copy to both the parents and school? Or just the school? Or neither. Interested to know Thank you in advance x

Hello all Would anybody be willing to share some ideas of how your snack times work in your settings please? We have 2~4 year olds. What foods do you have? How do you serve the foods? Are the children involved in the preparation etc Thank you in advance

Hello, I'm just looking to see what other people do about Christmas Card lists in your setting. Do you give out lists of the children's names if the parents ask for them or do you encourage them to just send cards to the friends that they mention? Thank you in advance

Looking for some inspiration!!! Would anybody be willing to show some photo ideas of your reading areas please?! Thank you in advance

Thank you for an amazing reply. I love this forum so much.

That's a really lovely idea. Thank you

I really like this idea. Thank you

Our system needs some updating. We are thinking that we should let the children be more independent by serving it themselves. Also, when the children have finished, some staff members will then proceed to get their coats on for outside play. Personally, I think that the children should have time to finish altogether instead of rushing to the next stage, as the ones left eating rush because they then want to go outside…but then it is hard to keep the 2 year olds sat at the table until everybody has finished. The children are between 2-4

Hello all, I would like some ideas of how you all do snack time in your settings. At the moment, we sit all of the children round the table and hand out individual plates of fruit to each child. And then a cup with either water or milk(they choose). Once the children have finished they then start getting down from the table. My questions are…..do you have a rolling snack bar? Do the children prepare and serve their own food? What do you do if some children have finished and some are still eating? Do you let them get down from the table or wait until the others have finished? Thank you in advance for any ideas that you have Emma

Hi all, Looking for some advice. With all of the stress from dealing with Covid and just trying to keep our preschool open with just the three staff that we have….we have found ourselves a little behind with paperwork. We have fallen behind with 2 year checks and we are thinking that we should get them done ASAP. The only thing is, some of the children are now 3. Obviously 2 year checks are statutory, but would you still put that as the report title? We were thinking maybe we should call them 2 year checks and progress reports? Please help Emma

Thank you so much for your reply 😌

Please could somebody help us. Now that the government have said that we do not need to isolate if we test positive, have you written your own policies for your setting? Are you still asking parents to keep their children at home if they test positive? Also, are you still asking staff to isolate if they test positive too? Just curious how people are handling it now Thank you in advance

Oh my goodness. What a great idea. Thank you

Do you do playdough for them to take home?
