Guest Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Hi cheeky monkey Welcome to the forum. I think you will find most of us feel bogged down with paperwork, whether you are a childminder, a preschool owner/manager or work in a school! I own a pre-school and I never get to the end of the great pile of paper that sits on my desk. So join the club and enjoy the site! Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in Cambs 47784[/snapback] I work in Essex and being on the networ k means attending training which i am not opposed to doing but i put in a lot of hours outside childminding hours that i dont get paid for!!! Very frustrating. And the parents dont have a clue wot goes on behind the scenes. However i do love my job, just feel like a moan!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I'm afraid paperwork seems to be a necessary evil for all of us (in all jobs!). The only thing you can do is make sure you only do the paperwork that is absolutely essential and find a way to minimise it. I've found that I could spend every waking hour on paperwork and still never get it finished. Prioritising is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
