Rather a strange week trying to recover from jet lag.  The most encouraging aspects of being out of the country for a week were –

a) Ofsted didn’t turn up anywhere!

b) All nurseries continued to function without us. 

It was lovely to return to happy smiling faces – children, staff (most) and parents (well, the ones I spoke to anyway!)

Mrs W and I ran 2 parenting courses this week. I was back to my Dads’ Incredible Years course. Most of them are still coming, even after 7 weeks! and the feedback on how their relationships with their children has improved, has been absolutely brilliant.

Last night, we both presented on ‘All Change’ to expectant mothers and their partners / supporters. It was really interesting to explore with them their hopes, fears and expectations. I’m not sure all of them are fully aware of what may lie ahead! but fair play to them for coming along to think about it.
