Time was when first I arrived on this site (well its predecessor actually) I was youthful, an underling and still training.....level 3,4 and OU degree and many roles, many years later I have retired! I have left on a high and am now spending more time in my garden, walking and reading! Just wanted to say thanks to all of those over the years who have helped, been a shoulder, given me guidance and shared ideas, fought battles with me and although I am hanging up my crayons I shall still be popping in here from time to time to catch up with the other oldies.

It appears my super hero skill is being immune despite being in a tier 4 area with numbers rising still........once again I feel like early years is the forgotten army....never get a mention despite putting ourselves on the frontline each day

my goodness you are not a whinge bag this is what this forum is for...for us to express ourselves and share our worries, thoughts and use each other as council. We might not always agree...nor want to do things the same way but we can listen and say...you can only do, cope with what you can and it is OK to express your doubts and sharing them does take some of the pressure off.....if only a teenie bit.

I think you can designate children as vulnerable if you feel they are.........I now have almost half mine as "vulnerable" or as "key worker" so intend to stay open even if the doors to hell open under our building. We have spent the last eight weeks trying to pick up the pieces and rebuild damaged little people many of which have now spent a quarter of their lives living in a world where they cannot mix in large groups or even access a playground.....so I'm feeling a bit suffragette and might chain our doors open! However like you I have more trouble with the parents complying than I do with the children.

oh no....I hope you get that sorted soon

Well of course from Midnight the world changes once again......I have found myself very teary and grumpy this week feeling others paind as their businesses struggle and families crumple around me. I KNOW I am not alone so just wanted to say be strong chaps...we can do this again and if we all support each other again both professionally and personally we can ride this roller coaster once more and hopefully come out with just a dizzy head and scarecrow hair! BIG HUG 😝
