We have seriously cut down the amount of stuff we have out. If children are showing a genuine interest in certain resources we will get more out though.
-
Oh, I love a take-out one too!!! My daughter's birthday tomorrow and we were thinking about a delivered afternoon tea [we have one that delivers complete with stand 😊] ..but I didn't dare book it as we are due a very eminent Ofsted and I felt booking it would jinx the day! You have my sympathies, I've spent a couple of hours trying to pay my electric bill online 😭 I've given up and written a cheque!!!
-
Just you...... personally I find everything if life gives me the urge for a proper afternoon tea 🤣.
-
Not sure really, but watching this with interest as we had to re-register so are now technically a youngish setting (I took all the old paperwork and dumped it with the last owner (on Ofsted's recommendation I should add!). I am determined not to fall into the trap of saving loads. I have been brutal with the accident forms though and we are not keeping all the 'cuts/scratches' etc. Head bumps yes keeping.
-
Yes, that's the one, I found it very moving and it still stays with me.

Well I am well and truly pooped! I'd forgotten how much work littlies are! She's 17 months (can't believe how quickly time has gone!). She was like a little angel I have to say. And in true form I took her home and she totally ignored mum at first 🤣 (can't believe how nervous I felt driving on the motorway with her!😳- and it's only I junction 12mins !!!!) Glad everyone seems to have a good break, all the pets are well again 😊. Zigzag hope your mum is recovering well, I fully understand what you mean about mixed feeling about going back - I honestly think the whole Covid thing had finished me- I would quite happily not go back Monday 😭. I am definitely thinking about my 'exit plan' now... I was hoping to pass it on to my deputy- but she has said when I go she goes 🙀!!!! I'm not help with films I'm afraid. I do still think about that film about the lighthouse keeper - I found it so moving. (forgotten the name)
-
The week's flown by (I always feel a bit short changed when bank-holidays fall in the holidays!) We are overnight babysitting for the first time tonight 🙀. Not really done anything all half term. Our cat was very poorly at the weekend and we feared the worst, but she's recovered, and up to mischief again now. 😊
-
Well, mines gone the opposite - was nice and healthy now it's fighting for it's life 😳
-
Good to hear 😊. But we do still need to plan the party - I'm going to make an 'afternoon tea cake'. I need a good excuse to try making one!😂
-
Hope your mum mends quickly. Looks like you'll have a busy half term! We had a staff inset day today, and it was good to just all catch up on paperwork and be able to laugh and chat for the morning. Every one has been so stressed this term, and I feel all staff are mentally exhausted - I know I am. It's the constant 'back of the mind' worry about everything going on. Scary it only six weeks left when we go back! 🙀 How are you feeling about this sunnyday? - it must be a really strange surreal feeling. I feel we should all have a retirement party for you!
-
Peter is our children's current favourite ... I'm actually getting quite sick of it at the moment!😭
-
Hope the dinner went well 😊
-
Yet another week gone by... The children are so very LOUD this term! Behaviour on the whole good- just very very loud. I've worked three days - my new normal 😁 I've had my 2nd jab. No real reaction, although I bit uncomfortable at night as I lay on my side, and my cat lays on the other shoulder!!! - so a no win situation🤣

Frère Jacques - to add cultural aspects ...

Transition paperwork
louby loo replied to AliceinWonderland's topic in Early Years Setting Management
Yes, we tend to use the essential information page too. However I've just gone onto our LA [Essex] website to look for it and I can't even find it now! 😂 The website is so difficult to navigate I think I'll give up looking. The advisors push the documents- but not easy to find unless they send a direct link.... me think's our LA need to do a bit of 'working in partnership' like they keep telling us to! -

12 Different!!! We've had our first teacher visit today 🙀. A lot earlier than normal- and a scary reminder of how time is flying by 😳 -

Not sure, but we we had our re-registraiton visit Ofsted were very quick to tell me we shouldn't be relying on LA audits/ paperwork as they [LA], usually have there own agenda when creating these, and they do not necessarily fit in with what Ofsted want to see! -
Ahh.... that looks like a top-tip for future tomato sauce based mealtimes!
-
Exactly ! Naughty of us I know...... but we LOVED talking hair cuts during lockdown - that was interesting!
-
Pretty sure a fair few our families that returned after Christmas have been doing this throughout 😟 (well not tourist attractions- but playdates with each other etc)... and at one point our LA was one of the highest in the south.
-
Obviously needed it 😊 I've played the okey-cokey with some washing this morning 🤣 My top had a tomato stain on it and I was determined the sunlight was going to work its magic on it!!
-
This is/was me! I was convinced I'd had a dud.
-
I can go to for a 'walk in' second jab this weekend, but I'm booked in for Wednesday so I think I'll stick with that rather than queue up.
-
I did last summer.
-
Another Friday rolls past. 🙀 Been a good week, apart from the highly strung staff incident.🤣 My daughter is getting her jab today 😁. Feeling sorry/worried for all the teachers to young for the jab going into work next week with all the children unmasked and hugging.😟
