Well, today was an INSET day at our school so my usual part-timers were here all day, and I had two new children start too.
My other mindee didn't come today (other plans lucky so-and-so) ;)
So, as a new CM I had my first day of looking after SIX CHILDREN!!
Boy, I am KNACKERED...my back is killing me...it's a far cry from having just one part-time I can tell you :blush:
We had a GREAT day though. And I'm BUZZING....we did arts and crafts; lots of active stuff on the Wii (the Let's Dance is FAB); took next door's dog to the park for an hour and smiled with joy when people walked past and laughed at me with 6 kids and a dog.
We did Junior Scrabble (totally recommend) and new mindee amazed me with her knowledge of what words begin with....other mindee (who I have had since September) FINALLY pronounced V properly and was so chuffed that I was chuffed wither her....they did dressing up, playing in a Peppa Pig Tent...oohhh I forget lol.
Think new mindee's mum was happy because she said (when she arrived her DD was dressed as a pink fairy running around 'casting spells') had she been quiet all day. NOPE I said, she's been like this all day....she sort of laughed and said 'Oh, it took her ages to settle with her last childminder'...so I was rather chuffed that I'd done so well with her.
Neither of them wanted to leave; they both loved that I had bought them their own coloured towels, plates, cutlery and loved that they had their own cups...
:jump for joy: :clapping: :jump for joy: :clapping:
It's not often, but can you tell i'm happy ?
Let's hope the blinking Ofsted INspection goes just as well tomorrow.
