Sunnyday, sorry to hear you've been so ill. At least you can get out in the garden for a while if you're feeling up to it. I to have had the week from h*** Not really anything to do with us as such- but we've had so much bad news, with a bit of bad timing/luck thrown in for those concerned ... it has made it a week i'd like to totally forget! Hope everyone else has had a better week, and has a good weekend. x

Morning everyone - late for the Friday check in again! 😂 Very sunny here today as was yesterday. Lazy weekend planned for me, having a few bits done the in garden so I'm keeping well away until it's my turn out there 🙄😊 I can't believe my second grand child is 2 next week! He will officially start at the preschool, and then that it my 'one year' notice (if I can last out the long) as he will start school nursery at 3. Mouseketeer - We only do term time school hours, so if I'm honest it doesn't really make much difference to us as we have very few paying anyway. It still makes me remember how undervalued we are though, and adds to my 'want to be of out of it now' even more. 🙁

Wonderful news! 😁 x

So, so fast the weeks are flying! Hope the grandson is good 🤞- and not too spotty itchy. Ive done far too much eating out this week 😮... realy needed today's exercise class 😂 Had the grandchildren over for a few days, been to the zoo, out feeding ducks, haircuts etc- actually looking forward to going back to work Monday for the rest!!! Just remembered I have a softplay party tomorrow 😳🙄😂... Have a good weekend all.

No idea.... but I like it! 😂 Good weekend everyone. x

Sleep policies - sheets storage and washing
louby loo replied to trekker's topic in Early Years Setting Management
Welcome back 😊 Pop along to the 'Friday' thread for a catch up! -
Well. I just found them... took me about 10 mins and I'm not sure how I actually found them!! I have the feeling that they have possibly now changed them so you only have access for a year? (or it may .be you just don't get the yearly updates anymore?) I went to the home page- logged in. After a bit of faffing I got to the Training and Resources, then the tab 'My purchases and bookings' - then kept scrolling down, I had to 'keep loading' more pages to find them. Hope that helps. 😊x

That's the word!!!! Thank you! 🤣

Afternoon all. I went back to my class again today! 🤣 Very cold here even had some sleety type snow 😮❄️ One more week- which is three more days for me before half-term. I really need to sort my retirement out though 🙄 My daughter would like my GS so come to the setting- which means another year for me 😭.... but this itself is the *crutch* of the matter... I'd be having him two days of week the anyway- and if I'm totally honest it's far easier when I have him at the setting than it is at home! He just goes off and plays whereas - when at home I have the 'entertain' him all of the time! 🤣🤣🤣 have a good weekend everyone. ** not sure that's the correct word - happy to be corrected.

That was me for us! I actually took a sewing machine in and got the older children involved with making them 😁😁 Next week the machines going in again and we're making bean-bags (throwing sort) -
Apprentices as part of Qualified Staff Ratio
louby loo replied to gthomps's topic in Early Years Setting Management
I would think if they are geniunely competent (ie not only just started- but well into their courses) then this would be covered? 1: 8 over 3s 1:5 2yrs. = 13. So technically 2 staff needed - which could be one L3 and one L2 ? As you would actually have 3 staff then fine? We don't acutally use the 1:5 for two years olds, but it is handy in emergencies. -
Trust me... biscuits never get forgotten in this house - hence the need to for the dance/fitness class! 😂
-
Afternoon all, Just back from a dance/fitness class... new year/new you and all that! 😂 (may have a short nap this afternoon to recover fully 🤔) Like Sue - a very murky day here too. I am trying to declutter the house at the moment with not a lot of success, I just seem to be making more mess as I keep finding long forgotten bits/bobs that look interesting!😂
-
😂 Well, do you remember that storm in Dec when we were supposed to go to Wales.... well it was rebooked (back in Dec) for this weekend 😂.... it was touch and go for a while as to whether we went or not - but we did end up going, and, although I bit windy all good in the end. Saturday was actually a beautiful day. Just back home, time for a cup of tea and now watching Country File- whilst planning maybe a weekend in the New Forest now 🤔😁😂
-
It certainaly has whooshed by!! We are now mid Jan, and this usually seems like the longest month of the year- not this year
-
😂 When my GD is here we always have to play 'baby born' .... my daughter assures me she [GD] has never watched Call the Midwife- personally I'm not so sure this is true!😂
-
Almost forgot it was Friday! Cold here, bu the only snow we've had was 1am last Saturday night- and that was mostly gone by the morning. No plans for anything but a lazy weekend! 😊
-
Hi All! Nothing much happening here today, although I have offered to help prepare food for the GDs 5th birthday party tomorrow... where did those 5 years go? 😮 Very cold here, and hoping we can escape the snow this weekend. ❄️❄️❄️
-
Mine came at 6am this morning, collecting two bins- so two lorries, one after the other 😭😂
-
.... but it's not Friday! (or is it? .. when do I need to put the bins out? 🤔) 😂 Happy New Year every one 😊
-
It's funny you should say that- as personally I know more poorly people at present than duing the whole of the pandemic! Andy is currenlty on his second lot of antibiotics for a chest infection, ... my daughter's MIL is in hospital (ambulance Christmas day) with some kind of infection, and lots of other friends, family and neighbours all ill! So many meet-ups have been cancelled.
-
Well, I thinks it's Friday 🤔😂 Hope everyone had a good, or peaceful Christmas. 😊 cx
-
I love the afternoon tea tradition! We do similar but in April (on my late mum's birthday) However we do have to 'ditch' the GS as he has no table manners whatsoever! 😂 Did you go up and see the lights? If so was it good ? We were going to go yesterday too. I'd planned the Southbank, then Covent Garden, up to Carnarby Street then home - but too cold and windy for the two little ones so did Christmas crafts instead! x
-
Morning 😊 All good here- only I promised to make the GD a 'unicorn onsie' for Christmas - currently seriously wishing I hadn't made that promise though!! Best get back to the sewing machine... 😂 xx
