yes grandparents can be on the relatives list. I would suggest you check with his Mum and Dad and then ask the setting. They will probably have an agreement for you to sign. (if we find out unauthorised people have access we remove access to the whole account!) I've had grandparents and childminders on the system before
-
can you send them to me please?!?!?!? this does not describe my current cohort! although i hate the strapline government try and "keep safe" everyone ❤️😘
-
good idea. Well done you. enjoy a little rest if you can and stock up on vitamins for next term!😘
-
thanks guys. We are allowed to charge for extras i guess it is the terminology that is used that the council would object too and we HAVE to make it clear it is voluntary. We do ask for a hire fee for waterproofs (don't give them much choice but SSSHHHHH!) The answer to what would they do, is that they reserve the right to remove funding i think if i remember the blurb! 😬 we were due an audit this year but they have no staff left so doubt if this will happen!

Amazing . How much are paypal fees as a matter of interest? are you spending on anything in particular? Ive organised a couple of experiences for next term as children haven't been able to visit farms etc Lotterylicence £25 so i have to take that off ...everything else donated. I really think people wanted a bit of normality. Selling tickets in advance (printed) works SO much better if anyone is thinking about doing it. I'm really interested in this fairer funding charge...Our borough will not entertain it, i'm just wondering how it's ok in other boroughs ? anyone any help or advice on this ?? (please read this as intended that it is asking for info NOT having a go🙄)

just a slight word of warning...make sure whichever system you use you can get a list immediately for fire drills/evacuation purposes

I told all the children about my 'friend' with snow today😊 they were very excited It was certainly cold here today. Been a really busy week and frustrating. We seem to be having issues with parents incapable of reading simple instructions🙄 it takes SOOOO long to sort the simplest of things out. On the plus side we have taken over £700 on the raffle so far❤️ I have of course spent it already!😂

my apologies as i fear i may have misunderstood as well. I thought the original post menat there would be 3 people but now reading it i assume only 2 in which case you are absolutely correct (IMO!) -

so for three staff at least one at level 3 one at level 2/3 and one unqualified or above. -

had to drop a parcel off at one of our children's houses this morning. Mum opened the door and i heard "is it the amazon man ?"😅

Just to say you are able to set your own limits so in our case we do say full time is the offer.
-
then to my mind this is not allowed....should be 2 to 26 if one qualified as an early years teacher then i for the 2 year olds and another for the other 4 x3 year olds. I don't think school numbers apply until reception as you said. To be frank the money you get paid for the 2 year olds is not worth it. They have VERY different needs even if they are only a few weeks before 3
-
the 2 year olds must be in a 1-4 ratio .. so are you saying 2 for 26 3 year olds....and then adding i staff member for 4x 2 year olds to make 30? in this case yes you could have 3 staff for 30 . Not sure it would be great for the 2 year olds and you would have to risk assess how you are going to meet their needs i think.
-
I do think you need to start from the costs side ...there is no point being busy and losing money! If you are doing 7.30 -6 then what hours will you give them? (remember it's only 20!) yes you can charge for additional hours and for extras as long as this is acceptable in your schools policies/la agreements you still have 32,5 hours you can charge for so how you decide what they are getting will be important. will you fund just mornings or just afternoons. what will you allow and not allow. ? will you need them to take up a full time space to get the free hours....would anyone want to access 20 hours a week for free without paying for anything else? can you afford for them to do this?????? we do a split like you have explained BUT we say if they want to take them home for lunch thats fine...i can't afford to do it any other way ...not really in the spirit of things but i'm already losing 30p per hour per child!
-
we do but not in lidded cups as it super heats and keeps hot for longer. We are incredibly careful with them and they go on our windowsills which are well out of childrens reach! but to be honest you have to make your own mind up. I know i can do it safely but you would have to risk assess it for your building/cohort.
