Yes fm - I have retired!
I am completely overwhelmed by the generosity of parents past and present and can't believe he level of 'scheming' that has been going on without me noticing 🤦♀️
As far as I knew we were just finishing with our usual end of term picnic, but no, lots of extras had been arranged, including a visit from our primary school headteacher, reception class teacher and several TA's who brought some of my 'old' children with them...how amazing!
My deputy and I have been gifted a super bench each for our gardens - these were made by a local craftsman and are completely bespoke, I will try and get a photo tomorrow, also a willow tree and a 'retirement rose', numerous bouquets, retirement balloons, garden vouchers and a memory book for each of us...
One of our 'old' children who is now in her twenties had written a speech that she read to us - this chronicled our many years of running the pre-school...
We have been thoroughly spoiled and both feel so loved
How lucky are we?
