Just committee and manager xx

We had to reregister when the then owner left owing loads of 14k rent arrears and I ended up taking it over. Technically we haven't actually had an inspection which puts us as a priority. 😭. Slightly worried as we are 'covid weary' now and have slipped into bad habits - which was why today was so good as we could relax, chat and recognise our failings ready to get 'back on it' as it were. Staff all now feeling more confident.

Yes another Friday done. We have just had a long awaited staff meal! We actually had full uninterrupted conversations 😂 Obviously outside, but lovely country pub with really good food...... I chose from a menu and had hot food cooked for me!!!!!!!!!!! (wine was had too 😁) apart from the obvious restrictions it was good to feel normal for a few hours. We haven't had a meal together for over a year and it was so relaxing, and it's been reasonably sunny here today. Although I must say the short walk to the pub was a tad scary down a country lane but worth if for the wine 😂 and we did all get collected to go home. 😊 I'm feeling upbeat, ready for our very imminent inspection from any time next Tuesday onwards 😳. and sunnyday... just go ahead and whack those heads together!

Ha ha, I know what you mean- literally just done mine just now! I had a chat with my deputy Monday. ...... she's told me when I go- she goes!🙀 I was priming her for my retirement 😳

Happy Birthday for yesterday Zigzag and dad xx

I've expanded back to normal!! The panel of shame has gone!!!🤣😂
-
Happy Friday everyone! 🙂. Lovely and sunny here- and I'm off on a picnic with a whole crowd of 6! Other than work - it's the biggest group I've done for over a year. 🙀 Hope you all have good weekend. Note: I thought the top banner thing was just my Mac not liking the whatever programme used to add something nice looking!!!!😳

Essex stopped a few years ago. Such a shame it was probably the most useful resource they ever offered :(
-
Well I'm calling it the 'Panel of Shame" as it highlights those of us with to much time on our hands!!!!! 🤣😂
-
Well.... I'm not a lover of change, but I'll get over it 😂

I'm feeling the need to knit some socks now. I'm better at crotchet than knitting though, but I am thinking if I tried a strippy pair at least I could make sure they are both the same size (think the heel would need to one colour though 🤣) If I do try- I wouldn't decide who they are for until finished- that way I can match the socks to the correct sized person!
-
We went back Monday... not sure why I was so sure today was Friday 😳...
-
I thought it was Friday today 😳..... turns out it's Thursday 😱
-
Well Jell!!!!! I'll be the only one left at his rate 🤣 Have fun, and enjoy your time 😀 xx

This is very much like us. Most of our planning is inside our staffs heads! We do have a sort of planning meeting- as a group we go through a list of all the children a check they are on track or not, and then 'plan' any appropriate actives etc. Our long term plan is literally a list of dates of events/festivals. We're due ofsted any-day and I hope this is good enough 😳 At our last inspection the inspector loved the fact the staff new the children so well, and that most could answer question about any child and not just key-children. she never even bothered looking at any paperwork! I'm hoping this fits with the new EYFS ethos- with less emphasis on paperwork..... however it seems inspectors can sometimes appear to set there own agendas so who knows 😩

What a lovely idea.

My last two remaining staff have got their vaccines booked for Friday 😁
-
Well I can see that myself and Sunday spend a lot of time posting 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have 'bubbles' at the top too.... but for a brief while it went back to the old picture. I also have a big grey circle on the likes/love bit of peoples posts 😳 (I may have said before - but I don't do change easily !!! 🤣)
-
I think 6 sewing machines is a few too many!! 😂 I have.... one everyday good one, one John Lewis basic spare, and my very first 50 yr old one (kept loft) 😁 I also have another three inherited ones!! 😭 I really don't want to offend the people that have given them to me though...
-
I feel like I've done two weeks of sorting. I inherited a LOT of sewing stuff which was a nice thought - but I already have far to much sewing bits/bobs.
-
I had to go into the hall today, so daughter and granddaughter met me there to go to the park together afterwards. Granddaughter fell in love with a yellow scuttlebug..... guess who let her take it home. 🙀😂

I still can't believe you're actually retiring ..... you've seriously got me thinking about it now.

Funded weeks per term - Surrey
louby loo replied to emmamayo's topic in Practice and Provision: General issues
Essex. They said I can just use stretched funding and set my own times in which the funding is used- which they said was fine as long as the parents know. We just moved a week to before Easter. To be honest our parents were more than happy and it worked well for us. We like to finish a early in July as otherwise our end of term celebrations etc always seem to clash with school transition days.
