Month: September 2024

NSPCC Learning, along with the PSHE Association, has updated its Talk PANTS resources for nurseries and primary schools to help keep children safe from sexual abuse.

Useful updates and resources for your setting around preventing and managing cases and outbreaks of infectious diseases.

As of 4 September 2024, the process for reporting a Critical Incident impacting a school or educational setting in Devon has changed.

Some members of the Nursery Plus Team have been undertaking Video Interaction Guidance (VIG) training. VIG is a positive strengths-based approach to analysing interactions between adults and children in order to support practice and relationships. We look forward to the opportunity to share it with you in our future Nursery Plus work.

We would like to congratulate two of our Devon Childminders on achieving ‘Outstanding’ in their recent Ofsted inspections. Well done!
