i am a playworker i work in a pre-school in the morining we open up frm 9-12 we have 24 children each day which includes 10 are 2.5 years old we also have a child with learning difficulties.
i also run koosc ( keswick out of school club) we are in a children center which is next to the school but because it is used by other setting we have to set up everyday and put away, because the size of the room we can only take 16 children aday which what we have so we are full monday to friday with a waiting list.
we have just recently had our ofstead inspeceion and because we hadent implementing the eyfs we just got satisfactory, we have children from 4- 11 and at the moment have 8 for the eyfs.
ofstead said we had to do the whole eyfs but i have been told so many different thing that my head is spinning there is only me and another member of staff, the school that we pick the children up from havent helped us either with the eyfs.
i just do not know what to do, i would prefer NOT to do what i do at pre-school with obs ect
I understand that to work in childcare you have to do the paper work but it is just getting silly not only do i have all the eyfs paperwork to do at pre-school and the polices, sef etc to do for koosc i also do the fees
sorry to have had a moan
