Im having such a bad week at work, today the one person who offers me support, guidance and is trully my rock is leaving to go and work full time at our other nursery. The other nursery is new and needs her help more than we do which i understand i just dont know how i will cope without her. I have seen this coming for ages now but its still upsetting. Also in the morning i have to have a difficult conversation with a staff member which unfortunatly result im the person leaving. I know this is this right thing to do but i feel so very bad about it. This job is horrible sometimes. :wacko:

Feel sooooo fed up! We as a setting have worked so hard to get our planning right, we do it daily all take a turns, it links in to the childrens intrests and next steps. we all felt quite proud of it. we have a long term plan, but decided no medium term one. we felt if we were linking it directly to the childrens intrests and needs we wouldnt need one.

Although we will be happier when September comes around with the new framework, much eaiser to organise. I sopose that the ones who have most experince know what area of learning we are meeting for our children in the setting without having to think about have we covered this and that. I may think about doing this as my reserch practitioner (disteration) module for my FD or for the BA topup course. I have alrea…

Has anyone else had a full-on day or is it just me? 2 weeks off and the children in my class seem to have almost completely forgotten anything they ever knew about how to behave in school - or maybe I've just forgotten what it's really like! I think 2 weeks of just being on this forum has left me with slightly rose-tinted glasses about how fantastic early years is (but I do love it - EYS and the forum!) but nonetheless, today was crazy! Started off at 8.40 with 2 parents having a huge, swearing row on my carpet just as I was trying to settle a little boy who was crying, and pretty much went steadily downhill from there! All 30 children are staying full-time now and th…
