started back today -like many of you -seems like you have never been away doesnt it? did anything make you want to laugh , cry or scream (or all three today) we had a new child start today -mum didnt and wouldnt stay with them even for a few minutes - the type that you are now a big boy and get on with it now you are at pre-school type. anyway he was fine for a minute or two then started to cry - this got louder and louder until he was really going for it - i was about to phone mum when suddenly he was sick (probably because he got himself so worked up) anyway - with that he said "i'm alright now" and off he went to play and we never had another tear from him and he end…

Move To School Site

I found out today that the regulation committee (planning dept) have granted outline planning permission, work has now gone out to tender. So apart from crossing the I's and dotting the t's, we are finally moving to a purpose built building with Children's centre attached, although the pre school will remain independant and the only pre school child care provided. As you can image the staff and parents are over the moon, especially my deputy who went to the pre school herself as a child. Our days of lugging everything in and out will be over in April 2010.

For those who are not familiar with my story, a little bit of background for you: I did my level 3 in 2004/2005 having just had my first baby, then went straight on to do the FD in 2006. Did the first year of the FD, had a few wobbles, doubts etc. 3 weeks into the second year, I found out I was pregnant with my second. Did the whole of the second year and had the baby 3 weeks before the end. I handed my research report in about a week after he was born and also did a couple of outstanding exams. When I left college after my FD, the intention was to take a bit of time out (a year, tops) to concentrate on the family. I had started studying when my daughter was three…

Dressing Up For The Eyps
by Guest- 11 replies

Hi! My EYPS course is starting next week (woo hoo!), and I haven't been to Uni in ages. Just thought I'd ask all you experienced people out there: what's an acceptable dress code for a postgrad course like the EYPS? I'm more of a jeans and T-shirt kinda guy, and what with the weather getting colder, probably a scruffy jacket over that. Is that too casual? Still adjusting to the change in wardrobes. Used to be in finance, so it was always very formal with ties and stuff. Working in a setting in a T-shirt felt like I was going to work in my pajamas.

I thought this might be of interest to those of us who's babies didn't or don't sleep well. Apparently it is all our own fault for fussing over them! http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/he...ng-1782527.html Obviously this is why my first child wanted to be awake and playing during the early hours until she was about 6 and my second one slept brilliantly from day one despite my fears of a repeat experience.
