We were going to have the child's paediatric nurse come in and train us,.... mum was more than happy to show us though! I had to explained to her about insurance etc. On reflection I think the child's needs were quite low really, it was a few years ago now, but I think the mum said she probably wouldn't need feeding at the setting anyway as she was planning on starting slowly and gradually building up the 3 hours. The child did attend with us until school and eventually even stayed for lunch with us. We just had to ensure she had plenty of a vitamin drink throughout the day.

We had a child due to start with us, but things changed during the six week holiday and she didn't need the tube by the time she actually started she started.

Love that! I certainly fully understand what you mean. I have been off a week now, and have not given a moments thought to preschool work 😁 I can't seem to get my head around the new framework for September at all...... worrying as I'm now sure we'll have our Ofsted the first week back 😭 I did wake in a panic at 4am this morning worrying that we will not fit all our stuff into our new storage space! Well I know it won't all fit and I need a major cull of resources. Staff have offered to help- but to be honest I think 'too many women' will actually clash as to what to keep or not, so I think I need to go it alone 😳 (preferably when I'm in a bad mood!!) Not sure if I'm the only one with this problem - but we have quiet a few really old resources that just need chucking, however they are build so well that they will easily outlive any updated new resources 😭 Oh, and not happy as I actually went into a shop, and bought new diaries ..... get home and realise I've got Jan-to- Dec ones instead of academic years ones!😩

You are obviously well respected in your community - you desevered to be spoilt 😊 Have a good retirement - but please remind me of the things that need to be on my TDL !! I'm seriously going to miss your input!😳

Good that she's feeling better now xx

That's good news :) Sounds a bit like my staff member last week. Daughter positive on the lateral flow - she had a bad cold sore/throat (suffers with tonsillitis anyway) does the PCR, fthis gets 'lost' in the system.... constant chasing up, finally turns up and the result was negative!

Sending positive vibes for your granddaughter x We finished today. YAY! Totally shattered. We got through the term without Ofsted 😭.... really wanted it out of the way- now it's just another thing the think about over the summer 😩 We are having major work down in our scout hall including us getting new storage, which, unfortunately means we have to clear out our old! Ive brought so much home to sort here that my conservatory (which is a fair size) looks like a jumble sale 😭. Andy never says a word as I walk past with more boxes and bags- but I know he's wondering just how long it going to be like this 🤣

Well, technically we are a new setting as we had to re-register - that was back in Feb 18 - so were due an inspection around the time Covid started. They has said the newly registered were going to be priority along with any compliances etc. We now just have Friday left this term 😳. However, now I'm going to have to be tip-top with the new inspection framework as they'll probably come our first day back in September!!! I have not so much as even looked at the new framework, let along think about it. I was hoping do be 'done' by now so I could have a totally stress free summer. 😭 Anyway onwards and upwards ....😬😁😁 And this thread has some interesting ideas- I like the one about asking feeder schools what they want (thanks zigzag!)

I'm going to read this post in two weeks time and I might actually make sense of it! I have total covid/ofsted brain fog, and can not give this any though until we finish and my head has had a complete rest. I feel like I've lost a whole term where I should've be planning, doing staff training and concentrating on this. - but just wanted ofsted out of the way. We now have two possible days left (inspection wise- we finish Friday) and every time the phone rings my nerves jangle.

Was it not just a load of men kicking a round bag of full of air up and down a big field then........ like it is now? 🤣

I used to have Jeff Hurst's autograph 😂 ...

😳 I'm currently online shopping - this football/tennis malarkey is expensive!
-
I signed up to for that some time ago but I've never really looked at any of the offers. I'll be honest after I'd signed up I though - 😭...I've just agreed to be spammed with loads of pointless emails!!! Off to check now.. (Hate both tennis and football so it will give me something to do 😂)

Friday.... not sure how we managed the week!! 🤣 Staff off self-isolating for no real reason (false negatives 😭). Luckily as most of the children are now over 3, and the fact we always work over ratios means it didn't really have a panic effect. We've just spent the week overseeing as I like to call it. We actually have a pretty good bunch of children this year- no behavioural issues or SEN, so in all honestly it's just been a bit of a chilled out week with the constant worry about whether we'll mange to make it successfully to next Friday !

🤞🤞 for the last two weeks I think term has been a really hard one, I know my team are fatigued and it's really beginning to show now :(

I've come late to roses, they really are quite beautiful. I bought this one when my parents died, I think its called 'remember me' or something like that. Rescued these two blooms that were too heavy to survive the rain.
-
I just had to laugh then the newsreader said 'is this the end to the good weather for a while'. 🤣 TWO days with no rain!......still only cloudy/sunny- not full on blue skies! (and it was the local not national news)

Friday again, and I swear this year is more stressful than last years 'shall we/ shan't we' reopen in June! This morning I had one staff member going into isolation due to her daughter testing positive after (well before really I suppose) going for a 32 baby scan- such a worry for the family. We only have two weeks left now, and I really want to be able to do our concert for the parents- this cohort's families have missed out on so much, and we wanted at least for them to leave on a high. On the plus side we celebrated my granddaughters 'half birthday' yesterday with a lovely miniature train ride, a woodland fairy walk and a picnic, it was sunny first the first time in ages and we had a wonderful day 😊.

No, but I'm interested to see the answer!
