Not putting this in employment as I know everyone will say it is VU and I am more interested in a direct comparison with other nurseries.
My workplace have organised training from 10-3 tomorrow. It has not presented as optional, but it is not paid, or TOIL. This is because it is 'for our benefit'. The training is on the new EYFS framework and is being delivered by an OFSTED inspector. However, the main reason it has been organised is that we have been reported to OFSTED recently and they are worried about an inspection imminently. The nursery has been inspected yearly for at least 5 years and we finally received a 'good' on the last inspection so they were hoping for a break, till this incident was reported.
They see it as they are paying for the training and all we have to do is give up most of our Saturday. I see it as compulsory training at the weekend which is not even being offered with TOIL.
Is this normal? Is it reasonable? Is it legal? (Although there is nothing in writing to say it's compulsory, it would definitely go against you not to turn up and they would find a different reason for a disciplinary). How annoyed should I be? I am seriously considering leaving, but I have very good hours which is the only reason I am there.
