Auction Of Promises

My pre school will make a £10,000. loss this year. We run 5 mornings per week are able to take 16 children per session but only have 6!. Looking ahead next Sept 07 we will be running very close to full capacity. (Have lots on waiting list) I'm sure that there are lots of pre-schools like us. Having to cut the staff working hours, reduce staff completely or like myself go voluntary. I do lots of fundraising for the pre-school from selling my own childrens toys/videos which they have grown out of to organising raffles, sponsors and doing village fetes. This latest one is a Promise of Autions. Our local pub is holding this event on their premises which is gre…

Lots of work to do, reading and homework tasks 3 in total. Some of the 39 students including myself get the luxury of a week of to complete all what w…

I Dislike My Job

Sorry, before I start, I have a feeling that this could be quite long so apologies in advance. Basically, I have been working in a local pre-school for the last 6 weeks. My supervisor and I don't really get on even though we have both tried to kid ourselves that we do. I feel totally excluded from the team and I feel I have made every effort to ingratiate (sp?) myself with them, all to no avail. It was supposed to be a great opportunity for me, going there as I have just started the FD and I am looking to professionally progress. To be honest, I hear of some of the settings on here and the things you are all doing and I get frustrated because I work in a place th…

Life After Pre-school
by Guest- 10 replies

Well, after so many tears and anxious moments, I can honestly say life is very good at the moment. I could never imagine working in an environment without children and a great team of girls, but It's happened. I started work at the beginning of October for the National blood service (just a bit different!) and I just love it! I wanted a job where I could either care for people or to do something worthwhile and I have that. I mainly deal with people that donate platelets for patients that are ill. There is so much to learn, but after only a couple of weeks, things are going well and I look forward to going in each day. My home life is better too - I'm relaxed and it's…
