Who wants to help me plan stuff for the new nursery?

[KatyMac]

Don't worry if it's no-one I can talk to a wall I am so excited

My dad loved it & was ready to put in an offer there & then

In case anyone missed it it's here

It doesn't need change of use planning permission and I think I have access to enough funding

Are you worried about September?

I have virtually knocked through lots of walls

I'm trying to avoid spam

Oh. Sorry.

I'm not very technical.

Have I boobed by typing it out like that?

Yes never mind I'll ask MN Towers to make it disappear

I'm not sure not typing it out makes it less likely to get spam it's just what I've been told

Katy. The nursery layout requirements haven't changed as far as I can see from the 'National Standards.' IIRC the NS talked about separate 'rooms' and yet we've been OKd with our 'areas.'

So you reckon it would be OK?

p35 of framework says room too

Congratulations, looks really good.

Thanks B1977

Sorry Bubble about your message - but I didn't think you'd mind

The plans don't make sense do they?

Yes. I would go for partitions. We have moved our areas around twice since we've opened to allow for more pre-schoolers than toddlers and vice versa.

I haven't received an email yet.

How many babies/children are you thinking of registering for?

Oh it went at 21.27

[Hmm] Bloody BT

Did you send me a smilie? (or have I sent my floor plans to some unsuspecting and anonymous person)

24 2-5 & 6 babies (if I have enough room)

Got it.

So your babies and toddlers will be in separate areas of the main hall and your preschoolers in the room with access to the loos? It's tricky to see from the photos but I don't think the agents showed the loos, did they?

You'll be using the current kitchen as a wet room play area and moving the kitchen back. Have I got that right?

How many/what qualification staff are you going to have to employ?

Yep

So there was the main room
At the end was a wall (with a door on the right into the utility area)

The utility area has a door at either end both would be blocked up would be the toilet block

New doors into the conservatory & toilet area next to the conservatory

Me (NVQ3)
Deputy (Early years degree & 5yrs experience)
2 NVQ 3's
2 NVQ 2's

Don't know really

So your pre-preschoolers will have free-flow access to the loos?

That's a very good staff list!

Are your NVQ2s doing their NVQ3?

I haven't got them yet - they are just ideas

I have my deputy

Yes - access at all times

I have sent a plan with existing doors on

"So your pre-preschoolers will have free-flow access to the loos" is that bad?

I know that there are health issues. Can any of you work a full week or will all/most need part-time hours?

No! Perfect! Pre-schoolers need bloomin' free-flow access to everything, mostly mud.
