I don’t normally post personal things on FB but today is a different day!

Today I was truly reminded professionally and personally just how important my work is! and how much I value the people who look after my babies.

Today I received that dreaded phone call while I was teaching, to say my little Oliver had choked at pre school (his fault, not theirs) he is ok due to the amazing team acting so quickly and even though it wasn’t as quick to come out, they had eventually managed to remove the blockage! I know the team have been shaken by this but they carry on regardless of their own emotions or feelings, INCREDIBLE!

I’m forever in there, and one person in particular’s Debt for saving My babies life!

This reminds me just how bloody important my work is and how having correctly trained staff in settings is vital, Both boys are in the most amazing setting with the best practitioners who go above and beyond there requirements and care for the children they look after!

The Childcare/Education sector is one of the worst Paid, yet we are asking these professionals to potentially save the life of our most treasured positions on a daily basis! Makes no sense!

Honestly! value, respect and let these people know just how amazing they are every now and then, and let them know just how much you appreciate them for taking such amazing care of our children❤️❤️
