Well, it is a wet Friday and quite grey outside, but no doubt the children's faces will brighten up all our days when they arrive later this morning.

My intention was to start my blog after my 'testing testing' post and then excitement happened and I became a grandma for the first time. Frederick (Fred) George finally came into the world two weeks late weighing in at a chunky 9lb 8oz. He is gorgeous and mother, father and baby are all doing well. Grandma is very happy too.

Your wonderful children have settled into their new classes and are training the teachers up nicely. We have to be honest, it can be a little bit like trying to get wasps into a jar with our new little ones but they are doing brilliantly well. We have had a few tears, mainly the teachers, but because we 'Achieve Happily Together' we look after each other and we are all soon smiling again.

Please keep talking to us if you have any worries, questions or just fancy a chat because we are always here. I am usually at one gate or another and whilst I don't have the answer to everything I will always endeavour to find someone who has.

Have a marvellous weekend and see you on Monday.
