Oh so sorry what a terrible start to 2024. I had a car stolen from a car park years ago. It was a case of shock, disbelief, anger and lots of othe emotions. I spent ages and ages walking round the car park even though i was sure where i had parked - stood there staring at the empty space. It was found a week later with damage to the ignitiion but i didn't want it back! Hope your daughter is ok

I am addicted to manet chess - such a simple concept and yet such good fun. Like you i have no idea why it has chess in its title!! My Granddaugher beat me several times!! Lot of fun family time here too. Sadly one son in Australie (thank goodness for face time ) round two tomorrow but one down as another son tested positive for COVID. Luckily he is not too poorly. Hope you are ll enjoying the festice break and sending you all warmest wishes for 2024

Just popping in to wish you the happiet Christmas. I hope that 2024 brings you health and happinesss and anything else you are hoping for. PS pregnancy going as it should and now 26 weeks - still can't quite believe ti!

Sitting here feeling pretty miserable due to a good old dose of COVID but i am so utterly thrilled to read your news. It really has cheered me iup no end :-0

I have now! Luckily she is a hand knit fan! i just thought i would wait for the 20 week scan. She is now positively blooming - saw them the other night and to see her hand so gently and protectively on the bump was just fantastic!. They took lots of 'extra' scan pictures as she is classed as an older mum (37) but everything was just fine :-)

I can't actually quite believe i am writing this. My daughter in law is now 21 weeks pregnant. Had the 20 week scan and everhting is absolutely fine. Everything where it should be and there is no mistaking it's a boy! There are no words to express how i feel but still got everything croaseed.

So sorry to hear you didn't get the news you were hoping for. Fingers crossed it still may come - maybe taking longer than youwished for xx

I have read the governement's resposne document about thise changes. Are they actually going to publish a revised/updated EYFS does anyone know?! One of the things i saw was about adding 'devices to safeguarding' but no more detail. Pretty sure we will be convered by our current policy on all things techy but it would be nice to know!! Rant over :-) I do wonder why it's so last minute too. Oh and a little exciting update - we have had everything crossed for my son and daughter in law with the success of their third round of IVF. All going well and 20 week scan coming up - so pleased but still just cautiously optimistic.

Thank you all. I think it will be the longest pregnancy in history! So far so good. She has terrible morning sickness and whilst she dearly wishes it would go away she is kind of glad as it is a reminder that she is actually pregnane.! They really can't quite believe it yet - there has been so much heartache along thw way but we are just remaining cautiously optimistic. Thanks again x

Just over a year ago i shared the devastating news that my daughter-in laws second round of IVF had ended in a miscarriage, Today is my sons birthday and we popped round. He presened me with a beautiful 12 scan picture done last week. They have been discharged from the IVF hospital and are now under the usual ante-natal care process. They have been told from now on it will be treated like a 'normal pregnancy' We are thrilled and are cautiously optimistic that it really will be third time lucky. I have no idea where they get their strength from - the preparation before the embryo can be implanted is gruelling to say the least. I wonder if any of you are religious would you please remember them in your prayers.

Thank you sooo much for all your replies.

They have already been back for compliance and were happy with changes in place. It will be a full inspection but no notice

Thanks Louby Loo. There won't be a phone call as it is a follow up from an inadequate rating (more children and more staff then). All the paperwork that is expected to be asked for is in a folder all nicely labelled. There are plenty of supply staff so i wonder if they would let them phone to call someone in.

I am sure this is the wrong place but i struggled to find my to where it should be! I am sure you clever lot might know the answer to this query. If you have 10 children (all aged 3-4) and have 2 staff working. The manager is Level 4 and the other member is Level 3 I know that is legal in terms of ratios. However, in this scenario what happens for an OFSTED inspection? Can hardly have one member of staff off doing learning walk and finding perwork and leave the other one with all 10 children. I feel there should be an obvious answer but suffering from brain fade! Huge thanks in advance

Raising my Prosecco here. Thanks for being part of this community Panders. It won't be the same without you. Rest in Peace lovely lady❤️
