Guest Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 What a good idea! Im an NQT teaching in reception. Not sure about displaying my real name on this though. Anyone could read it and I may not be able to vent any frustrations I have in future. This is a place of comfort and escape after all.

Guest Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) Having been a member of this wonderful forum for a long time, there are now so many members that I am finding it difficult to keep track of who is who. We have a brilliant introduce yourself area but I thought it would be interesting to have a quick roll call so please just add your name and your setting type, to help us all identify one another! Thanks. Hi everyone, It's nice to find out where everyone is based, good idea! I am a nursery nurse working in a 39 place school nursery class. Been there for 8yrs. now and love it. Before that I worked for Social Services in a family centre for 14 yrs. Didn't love that so much but it paid the bills!
