    Keep asking yourself...

    What is it like for a child here?

    How do the things I do help / benefit / support the child?

    For example...

    I offer healthy meals... why do I offer healthy snacks / food etc? I offer them to help keep children healthy! What else do I do to keep children healthy...?

    I do observations, assessments and planning for each child... why do I do observations, assessments and planning? I do it to make sure the child is learning and developing well when he is with me! What else do I do to support the child's learning and development...?

    I keep children safe on outings by using buggies with straps / by doing regular outings risk assessments / by using reins for under 3s... why do I keep children safe on outings? What else do I do to keep children safe on outings?

    Does that help?

    If the kids are driving you mad bring them over here for a bit tomorrow???

    You can get on in peace and they will be fine for a few hours

    As for the SEF. I still haven't done one and probably won't if I stop minding soon.

    At the end of the day it is just paperwork, important, but just paperwork. So try not to stress.

    Re birthday meal, I will let you know
