Hi everyone, Recently at our setting i have been noticing that staff are using their ipads more and more and engaging with the children less. I have spoken with start surrounding this and they assure me that they are using Tapestry. I have turned on screen monitoring on all our ipads to get an idea of the time that staff are spending on their ipads. for instance, i had a member of staff start at 8.50 and by 12.15 they had used their ipad for 2hours 4minutes. To me this seems an extremely long time to be on an ipad in such a short time. I would expect staff to be on ipads for no more than 1hour 30 minutes per day (7hours 30minute work day) Has anyone else found that certain staff spend quite long on ipads and if so how have you dealt with this, do you set a certain amount of time staff can be on their ipads or something different? Any thoughts or opinions would be good. I do have a staff meeting arranged with staff for tomorrow evening so i intend to bring it up then.

Transition paperwork
littlerainbows replied to AliceinWonderland's topic in Early Years Setting Management
Its a very good topic to discuss. We are currently in talks with the reception class teachers at the school on site. We would much rather produce a document that has useful information on rather than lengthy statements that the teachers wont read. Does anyone know if it is mandatory to complete these LA transition documents? Would Ofsted have something to say if they weren't completed? -
So for the last year we have been using our forest school more and more since it is much safer to be outside with the children currently. The children are loving using our amazing forest on site however as with everything it needs some TLC. We are a local nursery for 2-4 year old's and from what i can see there isn't really any funding out there for Nurseries. A teacher in school pointed me towards https://www.ltl.org.uk/nature-grant/ however this is only for ages 5+ and for schools. Does anyone know of anywhere that is offering grants or resources for nurseries?

Pre-Schools staying open!!!
littlerainbows replied to DebBrad's topic in Practice and Provision: General issues
I know on Wednesday they had the debate in Parliament around the reason EY are staying open. Within that discussion it was said that they would publish the evidence that EY aren't a high contributor regarding Covid, therefore showing we are "safe" to be open. Does anyone know if they have finally published this evidence? I did have a google but couldn't find anything recent.
