Guest Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hi I had my 6 month appraisal yesterday, just what I needed at the end of the week when we had been visited by Ofsted! Anyway, it went well- supervisor had loads of positive things to say and I have now been given my own group of 6 key children and I have been designated child protection officer. I am so pleased and excited. Gosh that makes me sound a bit sad doesn't it? Actually beginning to feel like a professional now! Took the kids out today to celebrate - wine is chilling as we speak to go with the takeaway my partner is buying tonight (although he doesn't know it yet) Sally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Congratulations, well deserved I'm sure. I know from reading your posts that you are a true professional, but I know what you mean, you feel like you've arrived when it is recognised. Enjoy!

dublinbay Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Well done Sally! Well-deserved I'm sure. Enjoy your celebrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliss Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Well done, Sally! I'm actually so impressed that you are thrilled with your extra responsibilities - your manager certainly knows how to motivate you! I need some lessons! It would go down like a lead balloon if I offered more responsibility to some members of our team - "oh, no, not more paperwork!" You are obviously an enthusiastic, eager, willing and very highly valued member of your team. What a fantastic job to be in if everyone felt like you.

Guest Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hi Di.S I must be a bit strange because I actually like paperwork! I worked for myself for 15 years (not in childcare) so I'm used to being in charge and having my finger in all the pies at work. I suppose I've never really lost that sense of responsibility and motivation for ongoing development. It probably helps that I really enjoy my job and at last I feel that I'm part of the team.

Guest Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Well dne Sally, enjoy your new role and valued status within your team. As others have said, it's great to have positive feedback and your example shows what the appraisal system is for. PRAISE. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
