Hi. I've just returned to the Forum too after a break! We use cotton tote bags (£ shop) in lidded plastic boxes under cots. They do have handles but are not near the children.

Hi - please point me to where the old forum was! I want to ask what devices/ cameras are now being used by settings for Tapestry. Looking to buy better devices than old phones ... Also - I know I should probably have read about changes etc but has the old forum disappeared? Thank you x

Hi - would anyone mind sharing links or passing on the best recipes you've used for homemade slime or anything else that's fun and messy? Much appreciated, I've been looking on Pinterest but there are so many, I thought I'd ask to see which ones you've found to be tried and tested as it were! Thank you

Hi everyone. I hope you have had or are still enjoying depending on where you live, a lovely Easter. I'm looking into the possibility of investing in some transportation for our youngest so that we can go further afield so either buggies for multiple children (either 3 or 4 children) or possibly a larger pushalong cart. They are expensive... Do any of you have experience of using /owning these and would you recommend? For example, can you actually push any of these with ease or do you need to be very strong?!🙄 Appreciate any input, thank you x

Hi - We have had a cull of our outside equip. recently and are looking at purchasing some new ride ons/ first trikes etc for our youngest children so suitable from about 15 months plus. What do you have at your setting? We don't have a large budget but hoping to purchase a few additions rather than one pricey item. Can anyone recommend anything that seems value for money without breaking after a few uses ?! Would also be interested if you think not to bother and invest in more expensive items, what would you recommend purchasing instead? Thank you

We are a small setting too and are doing twice weekly. Staff are happy to screen shot and send their negative results to me each week.

Agree 👏xx

Hi. Don't know if this helps. When you notified Ofsted re. Covid closure did you email them ( I did) or complete a significant events form? Ofsted phoned me and I had to give extra details as I hadn't completed the form. It would have been helpful if my advice from LA had told me this rather than just 'you need to notify Ofsted' as it was stressful enough as it was, trying to do everything right...btw the phonecall was very friendly.
