Thursday Staff Room... what no one around yet??

I know, I was crying with laughter at that, it certainly woke me up when I was nodding off at the boring stuff lol

oh my that is one funny baby how cute!

Here's a funny clip they played at our EYFS training last night - purely to wake up those who were falling asleep!

Mo - I just don't want to even THINK about Ofsted when on my 12 weeks maternity leave, ya know what I mean!! Yeah, fingers crossed with my mum at least, don't think will be so simple for dad. Yes, I've had hard time dealing with how they came across it all Anyway, in case they see this, I just want to concentrate on the positive stuff from today

Gal I'm a accredited CM, so yes have three day Inspections

I believe you can tell them you have no mindees to be judged by, I just wanted it done and dusted. Its only a peice of paper to me, I've got all the praise I need from my parents and word of mouth work!

That sounds very positive about M & D, they do have to accept some of the responsiblity afterall. Glad its getting sorted slowly though.

Hi everyone, no time to catch up but just popped in to say hello and noticed Mo's things about her inspection - Ofsted could very well contact me when I'm on maternity leave. Do I have the right to say I'm not working atm and tell them when I'm back to it? Seems unfair to be judged lower as no kids if you can't help having no kids there.

KayS - me and bump are fine thanks. You may just not be aware of my new name I'm having to use?

Actually, update on that......my mum sent an email to me and my bro today with a very funny story about something that happened with my nan today (she has bad dementia). I was surprised to have been included but hopefully break the ice a bit. It had kisses on and I replied and she replied again just to me with kisses so fingers crossed, in time somehow things will get sorted?!

Shoshe 3 day inspection???

Yay! We're Outstanding! Well, when I say 'we', I don't mean me, personally, because you all know the daft bat from Ofsted did me during the summer holidays when I didn't have any mindees, so I'm satisfactory! I mean DD's school is Outstanding! There are only 3 outstanding in the borough and the other two are top notch grammar schools!

Well that's me done! No more work until Tuesday for me!

I dont know you girls with your couple of hour or even a day inspections, I get 3 yes 3 day ones !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LT is fine. she and dh went for a check up earlier this week and all is well.

Weather is rubbish here now too. Got soaked on the way to school. lego is out thhis afternoon. two schoolies, both boys of 7 & 8, they are silent! Moved laptop into front room with them, so I can have a chat on here! The keys keep stiicking thoough, so please excuse the typos! Its usually got a keyboard plugged iin, but not now!

Hi tan1959, good to know I'm not just rambling to myself.

Poor little mites being packed off out of the house when they're poorly too! Don't understand it personally but ho hum!

School does sound a bit lax there doesn't it!

I've had similar problem with a mindee yesterday KS - schoolage mindee taken to school by parent after mindee had vomited at home, then was sent home after vomiting three times. Parent brought mindee again this morning for me to take to school, now I don't know if I have overreacted but I reminded parent of my health policy. My policy usually states 'stay away' for 24 hrs since last bout of illness but I have just changed it to 48hrs because several of my mindees have gone down with varying degrees of a sickness and or sickness/diarrhoea bug.
I am surprised that the school allowed mindee to stay having been sent home yesterday with it. Wave to everyone else

CC = Care Comission (sp?)

MML sounds like you have had a good day

Sorry mindees grizzly for some of you today - at least nearly hometime!

How is LT and baby bump? - not been around much lately.

We have rain too mumlove - horrible and grey outside I have my lights on it's so dark!

I have a little more eergy now and I'm feeling peeved I have lost a days wages.

Baby mindee came on Wed, nana dropped him off, said he had fell back to sleep in car (unlike mindee), mumtext me during the morning to see how he was as he had been 'iffy', later had a text nana couldn't pick up as gone home from work ill. Grandad picked up and let slip mindee been sick during night and had given nana the bug.

So even tho baby mindee been sick in the night still came to mine and gave it to me and probably other mindees. It is so inconsiderate, I can't work for anyone today and really could have done without losing a day's pay. Also ds has missed his first day at nursery as I was too ill to take him.

Sorry moaning over will read thread now

ok I'm probably being thick, but what's a cc inspection?!

Hope my overdue cc inspection is as short. Last year was 2 hours and the year before was 1 hr.
well done

I have still got the miseries here sahmindee girl is happier but still has the odd moment of tears, younger boy, slept fot 11 mins then screamed for twenty, elder boy has cried since he got up!!!!

Thats it not havin anymore time off, its not worth the unsettling

me too mumlove! Enjoying the peace while it lasts and watching Doctors and Neighbours (I didn't just admit to that did I?!).
We did some rainbow painting this morning which turned into hand painting which was messy and fun!
Going to make some peanut butter and oatmeal cookies later if mindees want to - or even if they don't actually as I want to!

Afternoon all, mindees are all asleep so just having 5 mins sit down. Who sent me the rain!!!

Hi all! I've just had a lovely morning with DH! He had a job to do in Greenwich, so went with him and sat drinking posh coffee in Witherspoons whilst he worked. Then we went to the most wonderful Chinese Cash & Carry. Its fab. I take the mindees there sometimes, its got all live fish, crabs and lobsters there. Very interesting for them I think anyway!

I decided to treat myself to some nice serving dishing for my party. Got several beautiful white canape dishes and some big bowls. Loads of king prawns too, for DH to make his world famous spicy prawns too! Getting excited now!

My God CC sounds a lot easier than Ofsted, but well done

Now you can sit down with a coffee and a sticky bun

Well had my inspection and it lasted all of 15 mins

Only paperwork they wanted was my Child Protection Policy so short and sweet huh?
