SueFinanceManager Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 To some of you today may be known as Valentines day but for us here at FSF HQ it's our Birthday Today marks 16 years of the forum and what a fun 16 years it has been and what a delight to bring so many people together. Whatever your day brings we wish you happiness and good luck and if you need us we will be eating this wonderful cake made by Emily and Juliet Sue Admin Team / Forum Caretaker 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSFRebecca Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Happy birthday to us ... I've just put a little piece on the front page "16 years of mutual support, wisdom and fun: This week saw The Foundation Stage Forum celebrate 16 years of providing a professional place for questions, discussions, research queries and pedagogical musings! In that time we have shared joy, despair, laughter and tears . We have supported each other through the excitement of opening new settings and the desolation of closing much-loved old ones. We are a very close team at FSF HQ and we see each other and work together both as friends and colleagues - you, the FSF members are thought of in very much the same way. Thank you " ....

Mouseketeer Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Wow ....Happy Birthday to all at FSF 🎂 Thank You all for never having to climb those Early Years mountains that keep popping up alone :-) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Happy Birthday and thank you! I truly don't know what I'd have done without you over the years I've been a member. It was a lonely business being not only the only reception teacher in a small school but the only person who knew anything at all about early years and having to stand my ground and feel justified in a world of people who thought I had it easy because I was 'just playing'. You have given me confidence and ideas and kept me up to date with what was happening in the EY world - I even beat my HT to knowing something on a couple of occasions thanks to you and that was a pretty tough achievement! Added to that the humour and kindness on here has kept me going when I was having a bit of a bleak time. Not only that, you have all contributed to ideas for a now thriving novelty balaclava business! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKeyteach Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 A belated Happy Birthday. Am so thankful you came up with this idea to unite and support us early years fanatics. And for inventing Tapestry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mundia Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Whoosh, where did those years goes. I remember my first arrival in the forum when the corridors were shiny, and new and quite empty. I'd not long started a new job and was a little anxious. How far we have all travelled as our lives take their own twists and turns, yet the FSF keeps us connected. Many happy returns, what will the next 16 bring? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BedfordBoroughNicolaM Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 16 years is amazing! Such a great resource- and has really helped us in Bedford Borough to stay better connected with each other- but also to be aware of what is happening in our amazing sector, both nationally and internationally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquieL Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 A bit late but well done everyone. I have had some really happy times on here and made wonderful friends.
