Morning all, Busy day so far, had the GD for a sleep over. therefore already today- I have delivered 5 babies, given the full beauty treatment to 5 customers (including a bunnycorn, had various beauty treaments and hairdoos , been on hoilday twice.... and finished of with a trip to the (Real) vet! This does now mean I shall now be playing 'vets' all afternoon 😂 Have a good weekend all. 😊 PS. I did remember to take all the slides, clips and bows out before leaning the house!

Sorry, late to the party. The whole thing is a nightmare! Can you imagine any other business putting up with the c**p we have to!!!! We have to sign our contracts in March- very often without a confirmed hourly rate... Can you see the head of the Bank on England working with those terms. We have started a breakfast club - non funded, and now close earlier to cover the lunch break for the 15 hours funded. Currently we allow 30 hours funding to cover this 15 mins - and this actually attracts the '15 hours' parents to pay for the extra 15 mins. We too are a not-for-profit graoup, if i'm honest i can't see us lasting beyond Christmas. I am now far to old for all this messing about having to justify every last penny they give us!! Rant over.

Staggered intake to Reception class
louby loo replied to gatten's topic in Early Years Setting Management
Yes, but as finleysmaid says- the parents/carers have to pay. -
That sound fun too!

That sounds like a lovely few days 😊

Morning all. We had nothing Monday - and I was looking foward to a good storm, very heavy and humid here. 😳 Another very chilled week here too, that said the GD only finished school Tuesday, so 'day's out and treats' will be more so now- and we did manage to go fruit picking between showers yesterday (plums- it took us less than 5 mins to get loads!) I'm a little sad as we had to turn down 'dog sitting' - due to a hyper dog and our 18/19 year old cat. A few years ago she could have easily 'held her ground" with the said dog, but she's now deaf so just not fair on her. Off for a one mile walk to the post office, then back..... only problem is it's bit too early to stop of at the pub for a coffee once down there 😂 Have a good weekend everyone. xx

Love it!😍

😳 .... I'm in early this week! 😂 First week of the summer break and I've done virtually nothing all week! Off to my exercise class now- and it's already getting pretty warn outside... I will need a nice rest this afternnon then! Hope everyone it ok, and have a good weekend all. xx

Well, I have to be honest judging by the cars our local dentist drives, and the other local one that has just opened a big new practice - I think our dentists faired a bit better. However that said- i do do live in a high 'implant/fake this n that' area of the country, which could explain things. 😳 Cait -it must be quite awful for your dentist. Covid affected so many people, we lost most of our independant shops- now replaced with coffee shops and nail bars. 😢

I made some very fetching ones for staff to wear... we didn't use them in the end. It all got a s bit silly around here- with hospitals asking people NOT to make any! I seem to like looking at my machine just lately, possibly give it a lttle dust/clean 😂

Morning all 1st day of the summer break for me 😁 Been to my dance/fitness calss this morning - it was hot!! Now planning on spending the rest of the day doing nothing...😁😁😁 No real plans for the week either😳 I feel totally drained so jut need to rest for the week. (think it's the after effects of the shingles?) Hope everyone has a good week.
-
Morning all, Well it certainly was hot Mon/Tues Sunnyday! I'm not a heat lover at the best of times - Weds was the perfect temp for me. Enjoy the dog sitting 😊 Have a good weekend everyone. Quiet one planned here. x
-
Better than expected, but I'll not bother again 😁
-
No... 😂😂😂 But in support, I have just had a fake M&S strawberry and cream sandwich if that counts?! 😁
-
Hi all, Sunnyday - I'm on babysitting duty tomorrow 😊 Not a very exciting week, although I did go for lunch somewhere I havent been since pre-covid.... it was really run down now, and a tady bit dogdy looking 😳 It used to be such a pretty pub by a canal, I feel the cost of living may be forcing more people onto narrow boats nowadays. Not that I'm counting- but I only have 6.5 working days left (until summer break) ... and most of those are just mornings 😁 Hope everyone manges to keep cool somehow this weekend. xx
-
This is where I am at now, and we too need to lower our age group, however i have no interest in that happening. I will 100% definitely finish next July (when my GS leaves) ... but I'm not really putting my 'all' into generating numbers at the moment - so it could be Christmas.
-
.... and how long does it take to start seeing the new year 'start' in January ? 😂
-
To all of those who are 'out of it' I have a serious question..... What about the stationary fix? Do you not miss the joy of new folders, pens, diaries etc? ... and not to mention 'work bags'!
-
Hi everyone. OMG!!!! I cannot beileve we (I) only have 2 weeks 4 days to go!! Another not very exciting week for me - although I have now got a chesty cough/cold 😭 I even took a Covid test, it was negative. I did suggest that maybe we should close the preschool this year as our numbers are very low for September- but staff were rather against it for some reason. We are a not for profit group, and financially we can make it until December. Long term - July 26 is the most definate end for me- that's when my GS leaves. Have a good weekend all. x
-
We had nothing! maybe a bit of lightnening in the distance but that was all 😮 Glad it was sorted quickly. x
-
Happy Friday eveyone! Sitting chilling with a sleeping GS at the monent 😊, in about an hour or so I get to swap him for the GD - who's having a sleep over tonight 😊 I'm sure I've been busy this week, but I have nothing to show for it😮😂 Have a good weekend all. xx
-
I like the Frdaiy catch-ups!😁 (although I did get my days wrong last week 😮 I've recovered well - but still seem to get tired. Hope you're both keeing well. 😊
-
Helloooooo........... anyone here? 😮, 😎😎. Not much happening for me this week, although it has been rather wet! I have had a lovely afternoon tea though. Hope everyones ok. Cx
-
Just realised it's Saturday! 😮😂 Hope everyone has had a good week. Cait, I hope your poorly pet (dog I think?) is on the mend now. Re the shingles- I was too late for the antiviral meds as i'd actually had it a week before it suddenly cliked it was singles and not insect bites plus a trapped nerve! I have been on painkillers though! cx
-
Evening all So sad to hear your news sunnyday 😢 Nothing much going on here, except I have shingles! Hope eveyone's ok - it's very quiet here 😮 Time is flying past so fast, I cannot believe we will only have 6 weeks left when we go back 😳. Have a good weekend all.
