yes and they are level 3 :)

Sorry I've only just seen this for some reason! I think that was clarified: https://www.eyalliance.org.uk/news/2023/12/dfe-confirms-no-change-over-unqualified-staff-rules#:~:text=Any individual that does not,longer work in early years

thank you so much!

If we have 17 children made up of 15 three/four year olds and 2 two year olds, is the following staffing ok: Three staff in total: one manager qualified to Level 3 one other staff member qualified to level 3 one unqualified staff member Normally we have more qualified staff so it's not an issue, but there's training coming up and I want to double check. Thanks, A

changing age range to accept under twos
anju replied to anju's topic in Early Years Setting Management
Thanks very much Ben -
Hi, In light of the new proposals for funded places for one year olds and upwards from September, Im considering starting to accept under twos. Is there an application process with OFSTED? At the moment we take two years upwards. Or do we just assess our premises, resources, staff etc and inform OFSTED of the change? I'm thinking 18 months plus rather than younger than that. Thank you.

Sorry, I mean I agree with you Mouseketeer
-
Yes I think the same Cath. It’s such a problem finding staff now, especially qualified ones 😞
-
Yes, quite depressing and demoralising
-
Yes! It’s hard to recruit anyone vaguely suitable, and even harder to find anyone qualified.
-
Thanks Helen - I had thought I remembered something about ‘working towards’ but it was from many years ago.
-
Hello, Can someone 'working towards' either a level 2 or level 3 qualification count in the '50% of other staff' requirement? I can't find anything definitive about it. Thank you
-
Thank you

Hi, I've just started entering data into the new booking system and it looks like it will be really useful. It would be great to be able to edit the register, as we normally have extra columns for Key Person, lunches etc - will this be possible at some point? I assume invoices will be added at some point as well? Thank you
-
Thank you - I've asked them for a test but didn't realise about the day eight test.
-
Thanks for the reply - not rambling! I've asked for dates and will see what they say. They have got family reasons to be fair and went there before it was red list so have been stuck for a while. But I am quite concerned as you can imagine!
-
Hi Do you require some sort of proof of hotel quarantine having been completed and/or a negative COVID test before allowing a child to return to nursery after travelling from a red list country? Thank you A

Jeez ☹️ Just getting worse and worse

-
OMG I’m glad I wasn’t watching that - absolutely outrageous 😡 Says it all
-
Oh that’s insulting and infuriating 😡 I agree; I’d definitely like to have some and I think it’s better than nothing.
-
Ah right. Lol re your husband! I know they aren’t as accurate but apparently the positive LFT results are pretty reliable, it’s the false negatives that are more of an issue. That’s what I read anyway. PCR are taking between 24 and 48 most of the time
-
No - no way I could afford it and we aren’t being offered it by our LA. My staff do want it. It would reduce the stress of waiting for PCR results for staff, which seems to be happening every week atm
-
So frustrating isn’t it 😕
