Progress Check at Two
finleysmaid replied to Stargrower's topic in Practice and Provision: General issues
ok ...i like this KIS! i agree my staff only use the app. Taking on board your idea (Stealing it!) i'm not sure about having all the areas as i don't want it to turn in to any sort of tick list ...so i'm thinking just keygroup concerns box and what support will be put in place for them. Reviewed each half term maybe?? concerns -no concerns sheet.docx -

I also do not like the word concerns....feel i have some competitive parents who will have an issue with this....why not just areas for development? or even things to work on?? -

we just do a short written statement and preferably a discussion with the parents. The EYA produce one if you wanted a formula. We just have a discussion with the parents covering anything they want to (plus the 3 areas from us) then we have a chat about any concerns....usually all the HV stuff (toileting/eating/sleeping etc) and record.....follow ups are then done by my senco if needed -
no more of the homely muted variety. ! clever aren't they! They are very light when they come off the base

sorry to be boring with a work related question but since the EYA have just told me i have to pay for a new set of updated policies, and bearing in mind they dont' seem to be that good does anyone have any recommendations? ?? (also along the rug front have bought ruggable rugs this year for pre-school....they go in the washing machine!)

anything that is classed as invasive needs to be signed off by the insurance company before little ones start. We have paediatric specialist nurses who come in and train us and sign us off as having been trained. All paperwork etc then needs to be sent to the insurance company. Most specialist needs can be dealt with well in the setting and the willingness of the nursery fills me with hope. At the start of their sessions staff tend to be over cautious but it really doesn't take too long before every thing settles down. We havent had any children with feeding tubes (though i have experienced with my daughters friend) we have dealt with a little one with severe cleft, (through hard and soft palate), stoma care, diabetes, and pan-hypo-thyroism (needing specialist care) amongst other things....All of these children have done really well in the setting and become a really important member of the group. The other children see any difficulties as just part of them, once explained they ask a few questions and then just accept the situation....❤️ I would just make sure that a defined health care plan is in place to ensure everyone knows what to do if there is a problem.
