    Ahh Cait that is great news, been thinking about you.

    We have these half waist aprons for that and they are really handy.

    Dog balaclavas are needed! My spaniels ears get full of sticky balls! (Sorry don’t know the Latin name for them)

    Sunnyday this reminds me of last year, when a group of visitors were walking through the meadow where the calves were and they were squealing and complaining about the cow pats! I was in fits listening to them!

    No need to apologise🤣 I love hearing people’s opinions, I used to have to wear them 20+ years ago when I worked at the day nursery and hated them! Now I feel they may cover and conceal lockdown weight gain!!

    Thoughts are with you and your Mum Cait.

    We wear polo shirts with our logo and I have little half apron things with a pocket for pens and post it’s, sometimes we wear them sometimes we don’t! I just wanted a temporary covering to stop the risk of bleach stain. In retrospect I think the disposable plastic aprons will be the way to go!

    Thank you so much. Xxx

    🤣🤣You should do stand up comedy!😉

    Anyone know where I can get some jazzy tabards from? One day in and my work polo top already has a bleach stain on it!

    Just wanted to add that we reopened this week and it was my first day back today. I was dead set against opening with just three children but I have to say that they are very happy and don’t seem phased by it at all. It’s also a good learning curve for September. (Quite concerned how we are going to operate on full numbers in September and keep up with the cleaning)

    Well it’s been a hellish two weeks for me. My darling Dad was rushed to hospital (not Covid related) and it’s literally been a rollercoaster everyday since. We were first told there was no hope, then told he was improving then told they were removing all treatment and we were called in four times for end of life visits. But I am delighted that today he actually managed to sit in the chair for an hour and ate some lunch. Despite being 89 and very seriously ill he still has the most amazing fight and stubborn streak in him! I am almost scared to say that we now see some light at the end of the tunnel. Although the end of life visits were traumatic we were lucky to see him. Now of course we are not allowed to visit which is hard on us but so very hard for him. Makes me so very, very cross when I see the beaches and the football celebrations with all those irresponsible people congregating together, what on earth are they thinking!

    Water play seems to have turned into a really contentious subject.! I am following a post about it on FB and people have very strong opinions about using or not using it. Personally I am going to have it but I only have three children. They will wash hands before and after and I will use a little soap in the water as well. Like normal to make it bubbly. I think that playing with other toys poses more of a threat but that is my opinion. As long as you risk asses it and monitor how it’s going. We all know our own groups and what is right for some is not right for others. Go with your own heart and decision.
  14. AnonyMouse_14268
    Oh my goodness, so glad it’s not just me with these feelings! Thank you all for the reassurance. 🙂
  15. AnonyMouse_14268
    It’s amazing isn’t it. I have become like this even when just going to collect my click and collect shop. So full of anxiety it was ridiculous. So many weeks of not going anywhere other than walking the dog have actually been my idea of heaven! But the nearer I get to going back to school and the wider world reopening my anxiety levels are sky rocketing. I need to get a grip on it as it’s not good or pleasant. Take care Sunnyday
  16. AnonyMouse_14268
    Well yes it is BUT everyday during lock down I have felt blessed to live where we live, the most beautiful beaches and countryside on our doorstep all within walking distance. Not a day has gone by when we haven’t felt gratitude at how lucky we are and thought about people in cities with no outdoor space. So I understand why people want to come here, it’s just concerning how many are here already without some of the restrictions being lifted, it’s quite scary thinking ahead to the summer!
  17. AnonyMouse_14268
    It really does not surprise me, we have seen such an increase of visitors during the last few weeks it’s quite intimidating. God knows where they are staying as holiday let’s, campsites and b&bs are meant to be closed. It really is a huge concern. One of my Dads is a community responder and has been warned by the south west ambulance trust that the worst Is yet to come and is a few weeks away for us.
  18. AnonyMouse_14268
    Yes I know just what you mean, very glad of the reprieve but not at the cost of a child having an accident. Yes they are her children!
  19. AnonyMouse_14268
    Just might have a two week reprieve before re-opening. The third child returning has had an accident that will require her to be away for a time, (I have suggested two weeks) So hoping not to open on Monday for the two siblings!
  20. AnonyMouse_14268
    Is anyone else actually beginning to despise the word bubble!! I haven’t even had to start thinking about bubbles just yet as haven’t got enough to fill one bubble but I know come September I am going to be bubbled out!
  21. AnonyMouse_14268
    Lucky you Sunnyday. Have had a very emotive day with my committee today, despite only one of the committee sending their child back to pre-school or school they have voted 6-3 for reopening. I’m afraid I couldn’t keep quiet and told them what I thought of them making me open against my will whilst they are not prepared to send their children in! After much conflict/discussion I will be reopening on Monday for three children.
  22. AnonyMouse_14268
    Oh gosh it’s such a dilemma. As you know I only have three who want to come back two siblings aged 4 and 2 and a 3 year old. The mix of these is not good, none of them will have their peers with them and a know for a fact that the 4 year old will hate it without his friends. I am still fighting in discussion with the committee about not opening as it is not in the best interests of all concerned. However the siblings Mum is the chairperson!!🤨 My heart says it’s just not worth reopening for these three, the benefits do not outweigh the risks.
  23. AnonyMouse_14268
    Just wanted to say hope all goes well for everyone welcoming more children or reopening tomorrow. I know there are so many anxious providers out there who just want to do their best for the children in these extraordinary times and I am sure we will all find a way to do so. We are not back until the 8th so will be interested to hear how people find working this way over the next week. To the providers that have stayed open for all this time, I have nothing but respect for you all. 🥰
  24. AnonyMouse_14268
    Brilliant news for Mr S. xxxx
  25. AnonyMouse_14268
    Totally the right decision. I was meant to have four new starters this term and am now not starting them until September (hopefully)
