skippy Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hi Just wondering how you're structured in terms of where there is a manager and a EYP/EYT. Who has responsibility for what and how is it clear. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Maybe I'm the only setting to have a manager and EYP who are separate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mundia Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi skippy. I work with a few settings that have both, and they work in different ways according to their skill set. Generally though the manager has the big picture and ensure the smooth running of the nursery, whilst the EYP has a specific role in either one room, or as a more 'pedagogical' lead. If you have both in your setting, why not sit down together and sort out who takes responsibility for what and then put that into job descriptions for the future. Its probably quite personal to each setting, and you would want your EYP/EYT to play to their strengths where possible, I would imagine. There will be members here in exactly that position, but with the holidays upon us, the form traffic does slow down a bit, and so those member who can give their experiences may take a little longer than usual to come along and assist...but Im sure they will do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Nor here, I don't think there ever will be! I'm the Provider & Senco, I have a Manager - if I had an EYP there would be so many if us with 'roles and responsibilities' that there would be no-one looking after the kids! Ha ha!

garrison Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I am the EYT and we also have a manager-I am responsible for overseeing learning in all age rooms. The manager takes overall responsibility for the business eg staffing, wages finances etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
