rosepetal Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hi, Just wanted to share some good news. I have been promoted to manager of one of the nurseries my boss owns. It is a small nursery with a team of 9 staf and around on average 32 children per day. This all happened on the last day of term and was finalised today as definite. As a result of this, i will no longer be able to do the FD Degree via my local college which i had been accepted on due to not being able to get day release, but i have been accepeted onto the OU to do the degree, and my employers are happy to support me doing it that way. I also have my driving test in October so lots of changes for me ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh . Due to the nursery being a small nursery and my children are all grown up now, i feel more than able to do the new role and do the degree at the same time. So i am a mixture of excitement and nervous. I start my new role as manager in two weeks time. Next week i will be handing over my room to the new room manager and saying goodbye to everyone at work. I start E123 and E124 with the OU from 7th October. Rosepetal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meridian Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 wishing you my best wishes for the future! you must feel excited but at the same time nervous - i know when i took over as manager 3 years ago (can't quite believe its that long - seems like yestgerday!) the first six months or so were a 'steep learning curve' each day new challenges but just trust your judgement/experience and im sure you will do very well - good luck!

rosepetal Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Hi All, I just wanted to say thank you for responding to my post and sharing in my good news. I have managed a Pre School before in Germany, and have worked in a day nursery as part of a senior management team, but this will be my first time managing a day nursery in the private sector, the owners are lovely to work for and all their nurseries are really good.
