    Default I was brave!

    Hi guys

    There is a brand new nursery opened just round the corner from me. Luckily I haven't lost any work (so far) but not a shortage in my area thankfully.

    Still I have been a bit apprehensive and nervous about it so I thought I would bite the bullet and go and professionally introduce myself

    It went really well! the manager said "do you realise what a good reputaion you have?" I said no and she went on to tell me it was fab!! nice to hear some feedback and just what I need at the moment.

    She showed me round the nursery and to be honest it was all shiny and new and immaculate but a bit cold and clinical...it reminded me of the childrens ward at the hospital.

    Now I have never been in a nursery before and I am sure once she gets full it will be buzzing but the atmoshere just wasn't there - maybe I am biased.

    Any way I truly wish her all the best as she has invested a lot and it is fab.
    and I am glad I was brave because now I won't be seen as the stuck-up cm ikwim.

    Just thought I would share x

    It'll soon change once it's full of little angels and wall displays

    I think that was a very good idea to go and show your face you never know it might get you some business, plus how fab to hear from someone else how brill you are?!
