It’s actually a pale baby blue, just a break from crochet. It’s a long way round the blanket now!

Setting up a new preschool
AnonyMouse_13453 replied to AnonyMouse_13453's topic in Early Years Setting Management
There’s a ‘disabled’ loo too, complete with changing table, so technically, there could be more, but the outside area wouldn’t cope with that. Having run a preschool in the past, I’d not like to have many more than a dozen children in that space at one time. She’s not got back to me, so maybe the realities have put her off ……. -

The hall is really big, has one big main room that’s larger than a badminton/tennis court, a smaller room half that size and a kitchen the same size as the smaller room. It has an access loo and three ladies loos - one of which is a mini loo, as well as the usual gents setup. Bit of outdoor space but all tarmac - the one downside is that there’s no parking. -
Sending love and hugs. Hopefully she will get her balances settled quickly. Xxx

Oh my goodness! Let’s hope these occurrences are getting milder now until it just becomes a strain of a common cold.

Thanks for that. Yes, I got the impression she didn’t have much of a clue, as her email wasn’t particularly professional. It’s the church hall, and we do hire it out for lots of things already. Mainly evening, Saturday dance class and a couple of afternoons - Japanese drummers etc. I asked her for more info when I told her our prices, and she’s not come back to me, so maybe she’s decided we are too expensive. At £12:50 an hour she would need a room load of children to cover that and staffing, insurance etc! -
That looks fabulous! Well done! I found that when I did mine, it was better to trim one of the layers of batting back a bit so I wasn’t fighting with two layers right at the fold of the binding. better than my first attempt!

Are you going to show us? Pretty please?

Yes good point. I do wonder if she’s done any research into need, we do seem to have a few preschool/playgroups in town! -

Hello all! im wearing a different ‘hat’ today, that of Bookings Secretary for our Parish Hall. I’ve been approached by someone wanting to start a preschool, and enquiring about availability, prices etc. I’m just wanting to make sure I’m giving her the right feedback before I respond. She’s planning on running session 9-1. Now, from memory, that suggests to me that she’ll have to be Ofsted registered (more than 2hrs). Is that still the case? And the premises will need to pass their inspection. I assume she will be committee run - not sure why I’m assuming that, just because she’s approached with just her first name I think. So, she will need whatever EY2s etc are called these days, medical checks, DBS and full committee cleared before she starts up? Is that correct? Presumably Charity Commission clearance? what else? What have I not thought of? We’ve limited storage nowadays so as she will be pack away, that will need to be taken into consideration. all suggestions greatfully accepted!

Will do!

It’s simple, but looks effective. It’s long lengths just threaded up and down through the knitting.

Here’s the scarf coming along, once it’s knitted, I’ll weave in self changing rainbow yarn into the rainbow bit to make a fringe. It always looks very effective

Half term is also halfway through the year, it’s all downhill after that!

Ooh. Should we be jealous?

Me too.

They were gone, but I’ve refreshed my screen and they’re back

The leaves seem to come and go 🤷♀️

I like the way she coloured in her pattern as she went along so she could see where she was!

Yes I think so. Like Caesar’s laurel 🤣🤣
