I have recently started as Manager in a nursery. Girls have a lunch break, half an hour paid and half an hour not paid. None of them seemed to know what their contracted hours are and by the sounds of things have never dow, what I call, rolling shifts; so I have been checking that they are all working their contracted hours.....some have not, they have been working less!!! I dont think I am going to be popular! One lady is contracted to 40 hours; she has been working 8am to 4.30pm with an hours lunch. Now I may be having a senior moment (which is the reason for this post) but should she not be working till 5pm? An 8 hour day (Mon-Fri=40 hours plus 5 x 1 hr lunch breaks,…

The setting is in London

Hasn't it come round quickly - or perhaps not everyone agrees........this first term has just flown by for me and I feel that we have made some great progress with our 'newbies' :1b hope the next 'lot' settle well - they have benefited from lots of short 'taster' sessions this term - so fingers crossed! :1b Looking forward to - a week of not having to get up early and 'rush around' like one of those 'blue bottomed' flies! Not looking forward to - the clocks 'going back' and the weather forecast for Monday is making me very 'nervous' too and then of course the 'c word' will be on everyone's lips Anyway - …
