Outstanding again!

I'm delighted to say that finally, after a long overdue inspection ( almost 8 years since last one!) I have been awarded Outstanding again! She was a lovely inspector and very human, engaging well with the children and put me at ease.  But I did get a proper grilling about child development, my planning, safeguarding, risk assessments and had to give her example of my inspirational practice. She observed me with the children and went through all my paperwork with a fine tooth comb. Hugely relieved it's all over and that I've got the recognition for doing a great job. Hooray!

My daughters were so proud of me and wrote it on the doorstep!

Amazing School shows

Furzedown Primary school put on fantastic regular shows that the children all take part in. I am lucky enough to have 4 different year groups' shows to go and watch and I always bring the younger children with me so they can experience them too. In this one my daughter was taking part in a play about Australia which was the culmination of her topic this term. She looked so cute with a handbag, summer dress and hat as she acted out travelling across the outback. The babies love seeing the children they recognise and its a lovely chance for them to hear live music as there is always gorgeous singing and piano playing.
