Cait Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) Makes sense to me! Just looked back at the forum list and wonder whether turning the titles round a bit would be better - don't know if it's the same on everyone's screen of course, but mine has "Observation, Assessment (or whatever) followed by "Nursery .... then the rest of it is lost. Would it be beneficial to have the group at the start, so it's " Nursery Observation, Assessment .... " and "Reception and Yr1 Observation ..." ?

Cait Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 No - forget that, looked again and Reception has it at the front already, so it's more obvious than I thought! Sorry!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 You have no idea how long I spent thinking about that one! "Reception Observation, etc" is OK, but I couldn't put "Nursery Observation, etc" because that section is also for playgroups, CCs and CMs! Didn't think I could do a separate one for each of those, so I've settled for "Obs, Ass and Planning for Pre-school aged children" and hope everyone knows it's for everyone who isn't in reception! Still not entirely happy but it's the best I can do for the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Yes, it's not easy without offending someone! "First EYFS" isn't necessarily accurate, nor is Pre-Reception! tricky one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I hope you can help me. How can I change my username? Send a PM to Steve or Sue and they'll be able to help. Click on '0 New Messages' and that'll take you to the PM system. Steve and Sue are admin peeps and have the power to change usernames. Probably Helen can do it too!

Guest jenpercy Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 It is still very difficult for me to discover what I would be interested in as a Kids club for 4 year olds an upwards. I know I haven't had much response to my call for a separate forum -but I wonder if more Kids club providers would stay/join if there was one. I am continually opening posts and finding that it is all too technical for the level of EYFS provision that I HOPE the inspector wants from us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hi Jen, Many thanks for your feedback. We have now provided a new forum for Kids Clubs, and you'll find it under the childminders' forum if you scroll down the forum index. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
