But...…..in zigzag's case the other parent is either a stay at home parent or furloughed - that's a different thing isn't it?
-
No, no and no! Our primary school won't do that and nor should they in my humble
-
Yep lots of that + alas and it is with a heavy heart and he will definitely address us as folks
-
So.….. our glorious leader (not) is going to address the nation at 8pm tonight He has also recalled parliament for Wednesday I reckon it has to be back to full lockdown, they need to vote on that, they don't need to vote on Tier changes...….we will see If my prediction is correct - why, oh why has he allowed some schools, preschools, nurseries to return today - he is always behind this awful virus, never in front of it
-
Such sad posts - we should not be put in this awful position...... It is completely beyond my understanding how it can be considered safe to open pre-schools/nurseries when it is unsafe to open primary schools Stay safe my lovelies x
-
Oooh Lynne check again - there may have been a u turn
-
Sounds like a plan to me Louby - a plan so cunning you could pin a tail to it and call it a fox🤣
-
Oh Louby, that's so sad, what is wrong with people, your area is in even more trouble than mine (and that's saying something) are your local primary schools staying closed? Having made my decision, I know that it is the right one, I'm feeling quite feisty about it all today, there really is no justification as far as I can see for this ******** Government to insist that we open when schools are closed It has long been the case that we have no decent back up in EY, no Unions, the EYA make the right noises but unfortunately that's about all they can do and our LAs know that we rarely band together.....
-
Only three replies so far - but all supportive - I do know of at least one who will be very, very cross with me she is of the belief that C-19 is nothing to worry about, she has generously shared her thoughts with me before - but hey she is, of course entitled to her opinion........ I have to let LA know - don't suppose it will go down well with them - actually past caring about such things I would like nothing more than to be heading back to work on Monday, but not as things stand right now, if it is considered so unsafe that our primary school has to close, I cannot for the life of me understand how it can be safe for us to open, the absolute least the Government should do is provide us with some scientific basis for their decision
-
I have written my letter for parents, I am going to reopen in line with our primary school and not before (so there!)
-
That's such great news zigzag - hope you feel much better soon x
-
Just wanted to say: Happy New Year!
-
Oh Louby, I'm so sorry - what a horrible situation for you
-
Yep, what Louby said
-
I thought I might write to my MP - but honestly, what good would that do.....
-
It's just not on louby, I agree with you, fuming is the right word If it is not safe to open Primary schools then it is not safe for us either I'm sick to death of Early years being treated like some sort of 'afterthought' - well actually we are not even that
-
My thoughts this morning........'sod this for a game of soldiers' I am considering pushing my start date to 18th January in line with the Primary school However, I may change my mind later 🤷♀️ headcount week here is from 18th.....
-
Doh! Of course, think we should have known that between us! 🤦♀️
-
Very good point - doesn't apply to my setting (we are 'mature' to say the least) but, yes it will impact some settings I'm sure
-
No we didn't either, we followed the rules to the letter - bet there were plenty who didn't though
-
So what are you thinking louby? Are you due to open on Monday?
-
I bought myself some time before Christmas I told my parents that we would not be returning until 11th January (this was before we went into Tier 4, I wanted to put some space between Christmas relaxation of rules and first day back)
-
Not compulsory for children to attend - but compulsory for me to open...... I just cannot believe that the Government thinks this is okay/desirable
-
Early Years Early years settings (including nurseries and childminders) should continue to allow all children/pupils to attend as normal. School-based nurseries in primary schools have discretion to follow arrangements for the primary school. Attendance expectations: Early years Attendance at early years and childcare settings is not compulsory. Copy and paste job - my little black and white furry friend
-
Exactly
