I can't type the thought that conjured into my head at your post - Pauline would ban me for being rude!

This is what childcare is all about to me. This is how I grew up, and how I am used to working. Imagine my surprise when I started at an English nursery three years ago! They all thought I was a complete nutter for having these ideas and thinking this is normal.

Oh I miss home!

Thanks Pip, will come in very handy next year. Have already picked my next essay. Comparisons between Uk education and Sweden.

[Ripeberry]

Their system is just so....natural and homely. It's more like a great big house than a nursery. I think the UK system is too based on 'school' layout, it should look like a childminder's house.

Whilst watching it I felt like I wanted to be a child there

Thank you so so very much for that you have saved me posting to ask anyone if they remembered it - I was thinking about it yestereday so we must be on somesort of psychic link!!! or should I say psychotic link - I really thing its so bad that we spend our time when whe are caring for our own families constantly thinking about work!!!

That is the way I grew up - not in Sweden, but in Germany.
I sometimes do think it is very OTT over here when it comes to learning/ pushing learning... most learning comes naturally and 18 months old babys (!!) do not need to learn colours/numbers yet..
just my opinion..

Nannymcflea, if you need any help or contacts at all please let me know. I grew up in Sweden and have been working there as a nursery and primary teacher too. Since this thread started I have been really homesick, thinking about what a nutter I am working here when I could be there!

Thank you for that offer, much appreciated. I wanted to do it this time but was told to wait as it's an actual option for next term.
