This is confusing so bear with me. I have been a creche worker for 18 months now. I have recently taken on a job with Sure Start and did my first creche for them today. I was placed with a woman I already know and 2 other women. Midway through the creche (6 kids one with sn) I was spoken to by a non creche staff member regarding letting lo's stand up to look out of the window at the football (I did my training and deemed this particular activity to be ok, anyway that is besides the point). After that the creche worker who I know (lets call her X) leaves the room to take a child to the toilet at which point one of the other creche workers stands up and starts shouting "X better not think she is sitting playing with that baby all day when there are 5 other children in here and one with sn". I was a bit by this but carry on playing with the children. We then went down to the hall and X wanted to stay upstairs with the baby and leave us with the other 5 children, she was promptly told by other staff to move it. When all children had gone home I was tidying up and filling in forms etc and they started talking about X again, I went to leave because I am not into bitching and they said to me "she has been here for 4 weeks now and all she does is sit and play with the baby and if baby is sleeping she sits and rocks the pram, we have spoken to someone about it but nothing has been done and if nothing is done we wont be back". I said that I would buck my ideas up next week as this was only my first week and I didnt know the kids. They said that I was fantastic and got in there, helped with snack., got down and played with the kids and took my turn at the 1-1 with the sn child. But, I am worried that they will talk about me being useless and I wont get any more work with this company. I know a few people who know the other creche workers so I can find out if they like to moan, they said they dont normally moan but she was doing their head in. Sorry its a long one just wondered if I should be worried.
