Guest Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I work at a 150 place day nursery. Today I wanted to check a pack so I went for a search around the nursery - I could only find 1 pack within the nursery and that was incomplete. Needless to say I'm shocked!!! I do my planning at home and have my own copy so I never realised that nobody else has them.
blondie Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 We are a pre-school but each member of staff has their own pack we also have a spare copy for use if needed. x
MrsWeasley Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Funny you should ask this! In our setting each member of staff has one, but at the end of last term I left my thermos flask in my bag and it leaked and my EYFS pack was ruined! So I emailed for a new one and they've told me I can't have one because it's one per person! So I'm not EYFS pack-less and it's impossible to use the PDF I've downloaded because you have to search through the whoooole thing! Sorry, rant over!
Alison Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 we all have a pack each but its meant I dont at present have a full copy in the setting either! I do have a copy stored on my laptop which I find easier to use than the pack so there is always a copy at hand somewhere in one format or another
Inge Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 we had 1 per staff plus one for the setting and I had a spare second copy at home for new staff or just in case, if I needed more I just called and said we had new staff Inge
Upsy Daisy Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 When I approached a local nursery about information sharing recently they did not have a copy of the statutory guidance in the setting. I had offered to show them the part about sharing information in the statutory requirements. I was amazed! I couldn't work out how they could get along without one.
Guest Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 We have a pack each (us and reception) and one in setting x
sunnyday Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 As others have said - pack for each staff member + one for the setting. Sunnyday
Beau Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 if I needed more I just called and said we had new staff Well, that's one way round the problem! I would agree that's it's essential that each staff member has one and there is one in the setting to refer to as well.
Guest Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 I've lost count, but at least now they are being used!!! I just order more for the setting rather than an individual, seems to work.
Guest Wolfie Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 One pack each and about five others dotted around the Centre for general use! If we want more I just ring and say that it's for a new member of staff.
Guest Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Can anyone give me a number to phone to ask for more??? The management team are slow at best and just fob me off with we'll do it soon... I can't remember how I got my copy, but I would like all the girls in my room to have one at least...I really don't understand how the other room leaders are planning if they are not using the pack?!!
Inge Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 I remember ordering online from Teachernet I also notice there are other documents relating to EYFS , I have had some and did find them useful.. Inge
Guest Wolfie Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 This one looks good - has anyone used it? http://publications.teachernet.gov.uk/defa...00114-2007&
