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 😝

well what a week that was......I had a "significant" birthday, the children are still feral, the staff are exhausted, the parents seem to have more problems with conforming to boundaries than the children....all in all a well earned half term break....Hoorah! Time to recharge the batteries and prepare for the festive season. Biggest bain of our lives at the moment.....people emailing me "questionnaires" about what is the most stressful thing we are dealing with at the moment....."well my dears it will be all those civil servants emailing me asking what the biggest stress is at the moment"......still good news is as its Oct half term I also get to bake the Crimbo cake and that means I can open the sherry...cheers! ......ps do you think we've been working too hard? #asking for afriend!😜
-
yeah but its a well earned hard fought half term for us ...yipee!

New Development Matters- introductory section
enuffsenuf replied to Helen's topic in Development Matters
I would really like to buy a hard copy of this so I can sit at my leisure and mull it all over...my printer has blown up (and may or may not be getting a new one tomorrow) and I HATE reading things online as my brain just doesnt take things in when they are on a screen...weird I know but that's my learning style. I can see things I like and things I'm not so keen on but as I say I havent read it all because it just scrambles my brain on the screen. -
Community Website Archive.....eek!
enuffsenuf replied to enuffsenuf's topic in Early Years Setting Management
Thankfully now resolved they sent the message and prompted the action in error and have rectified it. I managed to contact them via good old facebook messenger! Yeah one issue down. Thanks for the idea Sunnyday -
We have a free website run through BT for community groups etc which we have had for years and use regularly...today I get an email telling me they are going to archive it because we arent using it and there is no telephone number, the email return is a "no reply" addie so it just pings back and the "help tickets online system" isnt working presumably because its crashed with others in the same position.....has anyone on here got one of these btck.co.uk websites and had the same thing today? Im at my wits end.
