Hello,
I qualified as a PANCO last year, I have made a vast difference in my setting in such a short space of time. I only evelauate one space at a time, before moving on to another. I would recommend using a PANCO planning template.
So far I have improved some of the outdoor space to involve more physical challenges for the children. Obstacles for the children to balance and slither under, I have also moved equipment to allow the children more room to run freely.
I recently made changes to our staff policy to benefit all practitioners health and well being, just little changes that can make a big difference. A ban on all junk food, practitioner are encouraged to bring healthy and nutritious food and drink into the staff room. We also have a water only rule, practitioners are only to drink water in front of the children.
Have you thought of any changes that your setting could benefit from?
If you have any questions I am very happy to help.
