  1. Not sure, I just get a feeling it will happen quite quickly/suddenly . Personally much as I'd like to see the children/families again, I feel for our age group it should be September. Our set-ups are not like many of our European counterparts, most of those I'm sure are purpose built kindergarten buildings.
  2. At the moment none of mine a furloughed. I'm giving it a week or so and may sign up one staff member. I think we'll all be going back soon anyway. As I said on another post- I think the government are making it as hard as possible for us to stay closed for very long.
  3. Well if they look on a bank statement for my income in February it's going to be zero Fee's paid first two weeks in Jan, funding paid in jan and march..... maybe I'm missing at trick here, and I can claim loadsa money
  4. I think we may be going back sooner than we think I think the whole turnabout re JRS etc has been fuelled by the government making it harder for settings to stay closed.
  5. Not looked, I'm just think ahead. We all agreed the 80% at the beginning, so I'm sticking with. We could possibly do 100%, but if this goes on until September we could be in trouble. I have said we will look into making up to full pay once this is over and if we can afford it. In my mind I will only be doing it with those who completed ALL the online training and other bits and pieces asked of them.
  6. I wanted to say that, but needed to look up the spelling!
  7. I might end up furloughing our least paid member of staff. Just doing one rather than everyone for small amounts. I'm treating all staff the same as they are getting 80% paid. I did set a few tasks for them to do whilst still on full pay- and told them I expected all done before we returned, but it was up to them when they do it. The work set could easily be done within the the paid two weeks though!. I did also ask everyone to make a few suggestions for ideas/activities to add to our Facebook page- and I am disappointed that only one has responded -and send a couple of ideas a week ... strangely she is the only one that has younger children at home that need more help with schoolwork!
  8. We're playing for pints now ? I'll start taking it more seriously now then!
  9. I mean why would it? ... Why would they make anything simple for us?
  10. Thank you for adding that I had a quick look and input a few numbers and it worked. I then went in the garden for some much needed distraction and forgot to post straight away.
  11. True, but is a very big country and all the families always seem to have a few sheep and goats running around. That's my outside box thinking. And Wales and New Zealand had already gone, fogot about Australia - and I ruled Russia out as it has a lot of very cold places
  12. You've put that very politely ......... So some people can get to pay no rates and get 10K I can quiet honestly see why people in that category should then use all funding for wages.
  13. Everyone is making chocolate cake today - one of our children has just sent me a picture of the ones he made today
  14. Not sure who qualifies to be honest, but I know we don't. We're only a small preschool with 6 staff.
  15. Have people been able to claim the 10k grant? Obviously that would make a big difference then.
  16. And that just made my head hurt!
  17. I actually cannot understand anything that's just been said there. .
  18. It's all getting beyond a joke. We have neither payroll services, or an accountant. It's just us winging it. I'm going for furloughing one staff member at 80%. If we've got it wrong and have to pay money back- as long as we've got they can have it back, if not we'll have gone under anyway! I've thought for years that many early years setting are not wanted by the Government anyway- and they'd rather have schools running everything. I think they might be getting their wish come true soon.
  19. It's just her competitive nature......
  20. Happy birthday to Mr Panders... Cake looks lovely... but what is on the top middle ?
  21. Well it wasn't the Sound of Music !.... I still haven't got over the lonely goatherd being missing from the show
