sunnyday

News from here is not great - our lovely Primary school has had two year group bubbles burst ☹️ I have just sent an update to all of my parents - we are affected because some of children have siblings in these year groups - I wonder what the reaction will be, will my setting be half empty tomorrow.......

I will just add a grrrr on your behalf!

Such a lovely idea - well done young Froglet!

It's the first time that he has produced any form of representational drawing - I loved that it was a digger, he is digger mad!

Oh dear think I might have been having a 'proud nana' moment here! It is digger and a pile of mud - I thought it was pretty good......hmm perhaps not then 🤣

Cheers!

🤣 nope! 🤣

Going to try to upload a photo - my youngest grandson turned three earlier this month he drew this this morning - can you tell what it is?!

I'm with you zigzag - how the jolly goodness is it Friday again?! Pretty good week, one little boy absent Monday and Tuesday (just a cold) - unfortunately his behaviour goes to pot as soon as he has time off, not just us noticing this his mum talks about it too - deep sigh..... Mr S went up to the Royal Brompton yesterday for Lung function and a CT scan - he could tell without asking that he 'performed' better for the LF - will await news from his consultant re the scan.......they can only complete 3 LF test each day now - versus the usual 20 - 30 as they can't have different patients in the room at the same time and then it takes almost two hours to clean the room after each patient - can you imagine the back-log........ Haven't started any 'seasonal stuff' yet - zigzag and louby you are putting me to shame! Pretty long TDL to get through - think I will leave most of it for tomorrow now Still have some tulip bulbs to plant must do that tomorrow - that's about as exciting as my life gets these days! Bring on the vaccine I say, it is the only way out of this situation in my humble opinion Hope the weekend is kind to all

Oh poor you - it has happened in our setting too (many moons ago) I have the ordinary child scissors and they are freely available and no they are not directly supervised

Tier 3 from next week - no surprise really but can't pretend that I am not disappointed.....we were doing so well just a short time ago

Yep - what my little black and white furry friend said!

Just written feedback here but with the offer that we will always 'make time to talk'

Lovely! I do enjoy a nap - planned or otherwise I have emailed newbie parents so that's good, wat's not so good is that my printer is throwing one of its hissy fits - have tried the 'troubleshooter' which insists that the printer is 'offline' - going to turn it all of now and worry about it another day! P.S. what not wat

🤣 shall I send Mr S up to build you one fm? Otherwise I have no suggestions sorry......

How bizarre I typed a reply and it just disappeared 🤷‍♀️ Anyway - what I was saying was - I have exaggerated that cost it was actually £108.00 🤣

Crikey fm - I am worn out just reading that! I have been just generally pottering - washing is out on line, it is blowing a hoolie here so that should be good, have half-heartedly looked at printing of Parental Declaration Forms for Spring terms, I must make my next job contacting parents of 'newbies' that are due to start January.......

All sounds brilliant to me - enjoy!

That's more than we were given - nada from our LA until now Hope your First Aid goes well louby - my deputy had training booked but cancelled as she was too worried about the Covid situation (£120.00 down the drain but hey ho)

Mousie - you will be fine! Keep your arm relaxed I'm sure that makes a difference - I have been having flu jabs for years primarily to protect Mr S, used to pay for them but now I am in my dotage I get them for free 😝

Oh - this thread has been busy! The PPE thing was in a message from County - as it is being funded and organised by DHSC and DfE I imagined that we would have all had the same message, but obviously not, the rates in parts of Kent are now very, very worrying so perhaps that explains it - right here is a copy and paste job DHSC and DfE have already delivered PPE packs to all schools and further education providers in Kent to help build resilience across the education sector to respond to suspected cases of coronavirus (COVID-19). KCC will be receiving a quantity of PPE for distribution to registered childcare settings next week (w/c 23 November). We are working with KCS to arrange delivery of a PPE pack to all registered childcare settings in Kent, including childminders. Each PPE pack will contain: · 1 x pack of 200 aprons · 1 x pack of 200 gloves · 1 x pack of 50 Type IIR masks · 5 x pairs of goggles · 1 x alcohol hand rub (provided solely for use in the putting on (donning) and taking off (doffing) of the above emergency PPE). Please note, this is PPE solely for use when dealing with suspected cases of COVID-19 within your setting and should not be repurposed for any other use. We are advised by DHSC that schools and childcare settings are still required to supply their own PPE for any other purpose.

Well I'm not sure how it is Friday again - but yay it is! Bit of a mixed week for us - the natives have been restless - decided to change things up a bit this morning to create a different vibe - it worked! Has everyone had the email that tells us we are going to be sent eleventy-billion items of PPE? Hope the weekend is kind to all - wouldn't it be lovely to have some plans.......

Oi wait for me!

She's just brazen that louby 🤣 Very low key on the old yuletide front for us - have already let parents know (in one of my frequent updates) - so no entertainer and no Father Christmas - however, I have it on good authority that FC will be leaving a sack filled with presents for the children at my house this year - we will have some sort of 'party' not sure what yet and I will distribute the pressies That's always supposing we actually make it through to end of term fingers crossed on that one - oh and we finish Friday 18th - no early dart for us

Phew! Think my pre-school TDL is completed Now to think about my 'domestic TDL' - lots to be done there Tomorrow I hope to 'put my feet up' and recharge for next week - famous last words I expect 🤣
