Snap! Lets just say we have a lot of 'single' on paper parents 😬 ....and don't get me started on the Food voucher schemes.
-
Our issue is- we have very few 'fee paying' customers 🙁
-
It really is fun and games for you! Hope the dad turns up.
-
I must admit although my manger(me) rate is lower than yours I do pay myself for all the work I do at home too.
-
Just keep drinking the wine maybe ........ 🤣🤣🤣
-
Have a good meal tomorrow 😁 (positive thinking here!) Glad the 'KnK' continues to be fun as well as doing a good deed (the blankets)
-
If funny how relieved you feel once you've had the phone call. :) Hope the cold feels better soon. I've had a sinking cold for the last two weeks- I swear I have had every know covid symptom- all separately- spread over the whole 2+ weeks!! Obviously I've tested (everyday for the first 1.5 weeks) but given up now. I did go to work as testing negative but kept away from everyone as much as possible.

I'm afraid to say it's min wage here 🙁, 50p extra for deputy and £1.00 for manager. I will say our staff do have it quite easy through, we are a not for profit group and run well over ratio at all times. I could lose staff and pay more (2 out of 5 per day)- but they'd have a far harder workload each day. We haven't had a rent increase for almost 6 years - so I fully understand that that needs to go up due to rising costs of electricity any time now. Worrying times all around.

Did you have two weeks now instead of three weeks at Easter? We're just finishing a week early in July 😁 Hope the week went well with your dad.
-
That's really quite stunning! I love it! It's like a rainbow tartan :)
-
Glad it went well :)
-
Owwww I don't work Thursdays! Best update my river crossing bank details!!! 🤣 Good Luck and have fun 😊
-
Yes we do, but we give them out at home time- and remind children they need to follow the parents wished (obviously in child language way with a talk about healthy eating etc.! 🤣) We actually only give them out while the parent is in control at collection time though. We also give a small chocolate treat at easter- again this is given directly to the parents. It\s only ever 1 or 2 very small choc bunny/chicks, usually in rice crispy nest. I'm a bit funny about giving small solid choc eggs though, as they can be a choking hazard - so its always those 'flat' choc things - about 12 for 75P ones -
We have an old oak tree on our front border with our neighbour! It's (just) in her garden, but it does appear pretty solid.🤞
-
.... and sales of Calpol will shoot up!
-
Your 'aving a laugh mate!!!!!!! I bet they're all having a hissy fits about having to go out to settings again!
-
Ive just tried googling it- it seems very 'closed shop' trying to find examples of it in action 😬 (I might just be very tired I've had to work 4 days this week)
-
If I'm totally honest I stopped updating things months ago🙀!!!! It saved me hours of pointless work 😳 I will be sending home a reminder about keeping sick children off- even with 'just a cold'. We will be continuing with good ventilation with windows and doors open etc. To be fair our parents (other than one) have all been fantastic throughout and have been keeping poorly children off, however I think that's partly because we are sessional, parents that work have grandparents that pick-up, and in a way we are seen more as 'give the grandparents a break' than full childcare for working parents as we only offer two 6 hour days. I think it will be a lot harder on settings where 'childcare' is needed rather than a nice bonus (if you get my meaning) Has anyone else just received the email about Q-Codes, where it goes onto say we know longer need to keep details of all staff present including their shifts hours etc..... I thought that was basic H&S- knowing who's in the building for fire regs etc! (not to mention EY safeguarding reasons ).
-
That looks interesting. Wish I'd know that when I made my unfinished temperature blanket 😩 The reason it remains unfinished its mainly because I crocheted the ends in as I was working, which has given it a wavy edge and it gives me the rage now when looking at it.
-
Our are pretty good at pushing and pulling- that's my issue! (Hmmm actually a big bit of elastic might be better the wrap them in 🤣🤣)
-
Such a pretty colour combination, and what a lovely idea.
-
Not gonna lie.... I think I'd just wrap the children it it!!!! I know our current cohort just wouldn't 'get-it' to be honest, and I'm not sure it's worth the stress. We do only have one big hall though so can't take small groups off to do actives like this.
-
I need to see a photo of this windmill! How is DIL feeling in herself though? My staff member kept testing positive until day 10, as did her son. (they both stopped testing on day 10 and just one with life as normal)
-
That's what I was expecting, either that or he'd managed to sell loads back to the national grid!
-
Keep going almost there! 😁
