ChinWag Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 So anyone using Birthday boards with names and dob or just day and date for children at the setting.......I’m asking as I’ve heard some different opinions on this recently - ?
ChinWag Posted August 14, 2019 Author Posted August 14, 2019 This was meant for nursery - sorry I’ve put it in reception
Panders Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) when (sorry can't get rid of strike through!!) When we celebrated children's birthdays, they had a new photo of themselves to add to a large cupcake design with the title I am 2, 3 or 4, these cupcakes were on a noticeboard, so while they could be seen, as we shared our space with other hall users, they were not identifiable by name etc. We were able to make a reasonable fuss of the children on their birthdays, which I really enjoyed, except when they clashed with end of term, or other celebrations, then the whole morning was mind boggling.

ChinWag Posted August 19, 2019 Author Posted August 19, 2019 So the staff at my setting have been told that they are not allowed to display birthdays with dates on as this is a GDPR issue, I have never heard anything so daft.....we are a purpose built setting?
Panders Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 Well that being the case - my way only showed whether a child was 2,3 or 4, it didn't say when! so if you are allowed images on the wall of the children that would be a possibility, or have a foldaway type of board or display that you can show and update with the children when it is a birthday. Sadly there will always be different interpretations of new rules and whether we like them or not, or think they are daft or not, if it is not us setting those rules we just have to abide by them or be creative in finding ways around them
louby loo Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 We don't put actual dates on ours just which month they fall in. Our register highlights the actual birthday which reminds staff of the correct day.... that's if the chid doesn't tell us 100 times 1
