Yes we have had a good day too. No new starters this week just our returners. One screamed for 15min (I did try and point out that screaming was against covid policy -due to air flying around- but this didn't wash 🤣). To be fair he only started after the Feb half term and hadn't really settled before we closed. We also had our 'loud moaner' that has been moaning loudly since last Nov when she started 😭😭 Both were laughing and playing by the end though. We found the cleaning a bit hard going ... more working out how and what to do really. Already tweaking a few ideas to improve/make easier. Parents good- but didn't really get the concept of bring a change of clothes bag and leaving it. One little girl had a couple of dummies (never seen her use one!) small tin of Vaseline, a lipsil.............and a TAMPON!!!!!! Guess she raided mums bag then 🤣

At the moment we haven't had one question from parents and we reopen on Monday. Not sure what's more worrying. 😳

New Development Matters- introductory section
louby loo replied to Helen's topic in Development Matters
I have to say I can't find the enthusiasm to even look at it yet- which is very unlike me . I printed it off, noted that the reading didn't 'flow' (when mid sentence moves to next page in tables etc), and haven't looked at it since. I honestly think covid has finished me. -
Well I'm already shattered... and we aren't even open for the children until Monday! We have had three days of sorting, cleaning and planning, and still not 100% sure how it all going to work Monday- but at least the whole team are thinking the same way now

When I had my registration visit the inspector said I could list my myself as L6- but couldn't have the 1.13 ratio.

Me too- the poster thingy is manageable at this late date.

Is it just the poster type document - or have a missed this one?

Heating the setting this autumn
louby loo replied to Dennie's topic in Early Years Setting Management
We're in a scout hut and they fitted infra red heaters this time last year. They are so much better than the fans- but our fans were old anyway. We do get hot spots, but they heat up in minutes. Not sure cost wise though. -
Yes. Good luck everyone, and well done to all those that have remained open all summer We're in from Wednesday to get the hall ready, Children back next Monday. I'm actually looking forward to it now
-
I've had a fair few where you wake up so relieved it's not real.... but it takes quite a little while to actually 'get over' the dream as it seemed so real 😢 But I do seem to forget them very quickly, and usual by morning I can't remember the details, just that it was awful at the time. Rollercoaster - I guess that's what we're all facing in the next week or so ?
-
Not sure what going on inside your head then!😳 Do you have any weddings coming up? I have weird dreams sometimes. Usually pretty boring like going shopping in Tesco etc - then I'm not sure sure what shopping I actually have in the cupboard whether or not I did buy stuff or just dreamt I have. I once dreamt often came- but the children arms kept falling off and we had to keep 'clicking' back in (like a doll)

Go to work, don't go to work, stay at home, don't stay at home........
-
I'm in the middle of one those conventions via email ............. like you I'm really not sure what's happing now. I 'think' we have deferred the place until Jan, 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤣
-
Very true. And I'm glad I went out- we went to Halfords to look at buggies for my daughter, long story short after much fun and giggles from the staff and us we ended up getting a £160 one for £45..... less 10% AA membership discount. 🤣
-
I've ventured out again today, and everything seems pretty normal out now (apart from the masks) which actually makes me feel more comfortable about going back to work.
-
I hope you make a full recovery over time. Your post serves as a reminder to us all that we do need to have a strict (and clear) illness policies in place.
-
Looking good Zigzag 😃😁
-
I know the feeling 😳..... I have been out eating every day this week so far, it is making me realise things are sort of a lot more normal and not so scary. Really not getting on with the masks though. I've not really done shopping as such M&S to collect something - it's a food store so very quiet in the small clothing bit, and baby shop, and the garden centre. I can't seem to focus/concentrate with mask on and I'm just in and out as quickly as possible.
-
Ok, so I'm posting on the Friday thread because I have been out out again. Went out dinner for the first time since March with our regular 'Friday Night' friends, All the way me and Andy have been say 'today is Tuesday- tomorrow will be Wednesday" Having enough trouble with days of the week without throwing a spanner in the works 🤣🤣
-
I've never thought of that but you're right!🤣
-
Oh no! We're in '101". .... we may all disappear 😳 Off to take photo of Jimbob, sadly he is neither Grey Tabby or Ginger - but he has just walked in and stolen Holiday dogs lunch and treats!! (Dog couldn't care less as he's already eaten the cat food!😭
