Guest Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hi all Does anybody display continuous provision sheets in changing areas? I have been asked by nursery manager to do this for our areas and have come to a stop, looking for inspiration. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wolfie Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I'm probably just being dense here - what do you mean by "changing areas"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belle06 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I must be having a moment but had a vision of continous provision sheets in the nappy area, can not visualize what these would contain!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I'm guessing you do mean nappy changing area, given your in the BT3 forum. I suppose also that changing nappies is all part and parcel of the continuous provision for this age/stage band, having said that a CP with comments such as; PSE: dignity, well being, eye contact, interaction /building secure relationships, Toilet training, health/ ashing hands etc CLL; rhymes/songs whilst changing, visual signs, talking/interacting. PSRN: How much does 'it' weigh? (no, sorry not funny ) Maybe a number mobile to look at whils being changed? KUW: Interesting things to look at ie: mirrors (grasping at straws here :unsure: ) Phys; bodily functions :rolleyes: , self care skills, dressing/undressing :wacko: Takes quite a bit of thinking about, to write down what our natural interactions with babies are whilst changing them. The main focus I would say is PSE and Phys. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Love it, Peggy! Nappy changing never seemed such fun! Nona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Yes unfortunately I do mean nappy changing area as this is what I have been asked to do for the baby room. It's apparently to encourage key people to focus upon making this time a special bonding time between staff and baby. Thanks for help Peggy, this was kind of staff I thought I would have to focus upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 PSRN - lots of opportunities when changing babies, eg "This little piggy went to market" - ending in the final line most apt for changing area because they weed all the way home...

I must admit I don't think it's a bad idea to have displays of how interactions take place in thi area, what I would suggest is that you get your staff to write it though, makes them think the nappie changing process through a bit more in respects of how they can make this 'activity' best for the child I remember an FSF member who would write lots about the learning potential of the changing/toilet area, I think she felt she spent most of her time in there, her name evades me at the moment. (I think it was Jan or a name beginning wth J ) maybe if she's still around she will come along and offer more ideas. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beau Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Are you referring to diane? We had quite a laugh about the fact that she should write a book on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Beau, It was Diane, shows my memory cells have really gone thinking her initial was J. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
