Ratios and qualifications
hopeytg replied to Emma Bailey_902595195's topic in Committee-run Provisions
I was told that as long as the Level 3 was within ratio - the 2nd person did not need to be qualified. We are also a small setting but due to the age of the children we couldn't do it. -
I was the same, my head was spinning with all the guidance which seemed to change by the minute. We only have 7 out of 28 return but those 7 are having a great time and parents have said their behaviour at home has improved. Just seeing them run in without a backward glance to their parents is reward enough. I certainly think i over thought stuff.

We have had a few children who cannot be in photo's so we take a whole group for that child and either stand them on the end so we can 'crop' or take two photos one with them in and one with them out that is then shared.

I include a 'Summary of policies' in the welcome pack advising parent's they can view the complete policies on our website, Tapestry or in a file in the foyer. Never seen a parent pick up the folder

Adding Policies and procedures onto Tapestry

Watches that display texts etc - do you allow staff to wear them?
hopeytg replied to hopeytg's topic in Staff Lounge
Thanks louby lou - I didn't know they had that function -
I'm not sure if I am being a really grumpy manager but I would be interested to see if anyone has banned staff wearing watches that display texts etc. I am finding that staff are regularly looking at their watches and then having a bit of a chat about a text or Facebook comment they have seen. I have a policy regarding phones, that they are kept in a locked cupboard and should only be accessed when they are on a break and they have to give the setting mobile number for emergency contact so wonder if this should include watches. I know I would have a backlash as they also record their 'steps' and do wonder if I am just being over sensitive - would really appreciate other's thoughts.
