Frustrated About New Job

Hi, I'm new here, hoping for some of your wisdom. Until recently, I have been working in a beautiful children's centre with a very supportive and amazing manager. Alas it was only a temp. position and I had to leave. I quickly found a new job at a privately owned and managed nursery. The interview was VERY informal and I was surprised when I was offered the job (at this point the manager hadn't seen any ID, proof of qualifications or CRB check). Well I did accept, even though I had reservations. Since then I have found out a lot of things that upset me. The manager doesn't agree with the EYFS and I'm getting very frustrated trying to explain the importance of Ob…

HI All, after a long break from the forum i am back on now. I am currently working as a Deputy Manager in a nursery, but i have an interview for a pre-school manager on Friday. I just have a few questions: i believe the pre-school is committee run, does anyone have experience of this and if so can you advise me of how this differs to a privately run nursery? any ideas on what i could expect from the role of pre-school manager? (i have been a nursery manager in the past but i wonder how different a role the pre-school manager is. and any other worrd of wisdom for the interview would be appreciated, thank you Dawn

This is not funny anymore. Since January of this year, I have had ear infections upon ear infections. So much so I have had to take time off work since its made me too ill to work. About 8 weeks ago I got the all clear and we though it won't come back. Well on Monday/Tuesday of this week I have felt ill.

Been to the hosptial today and guess whats back yes this ear infection that just won't go away! Well I am behond caring now, but at least even without the right…

Hi everyone I'm needing a little help and I'm sure everyone else out there has got it sorted. I'm a reception teacher with 26chn and one Nursery Nurse full time. I teach PSRN in the mornings with my class and have split them into 3 groups for differentiation. (22-36m) (30-50m) & (30-60m). I do a wholeclass focus first which can be number rhymes, puppets, quick activity for number recognition etc for ten mins max.....this is when the problem comes because i like to do the focus in small groups. I'll take a group and also my Nursery Nurse, leaving a grp to get on with a simple activity independently. Its really not great because they arent really mature enou…

Today, one of our mums went into labour a couple of weeks early. When we were in the garden 3 magpies were jumping about on the grass at about 10.15 - 10.30 I suppose, when grandma came to pick up at lunch time she said her daughter's baby girl had been born at 10.30!!
