We have been speaking to managers to discover what their plans are for 2024.
The majority are concerned with the new funding which is coming in from April and how they will make it work in their nursery, so finances and sustainability are high on the agenda for everyone.
The other hot topic is the EYFS reforms which were introduced earlier this month and the confusion over the qualified and unqualified ratios and the Maths requirements for apprentices and current managers. We have found that managers feel supported within social media forums and will turn to them for advice and help, showing we are in this together.
As early years managers we have so many tasks to complete and we cannot do it all at once, try to break down each task and plan of how they will be achieved. The Peoplebunch platform lists all tasks for managers in weekly, monthly and quarterly form with reminders of what needs to be done and when, as well as who to delegate the tasks to.
Peoplebunch can also help with staff retention, recent research has shown that staff leave because they feel they are not being supported in their professional development or feel unappreciated, Peoplebunch will schedule supervisions and record all the CPD courses your staff complete with the added benefit of staff having access to the information so they can plan their own development.
