Returning to nursery on 1st June

Although that gave them 20 days to shape the guidance our experience tells us that we would not hear till right close to the wire and so I was ready. Midnight on Friday night I waited for the ping that would tell me the DfE guidance had dropped into my inbox. But it didn’t come and arrived as a little Bank Holiday Monday treat instead! I downloaded it ready for the read of a lifetime. Its competing with my current novel George Eliot’s Middlemarch. Would it be as pedantic and inflexible as Mr Casaubon?

As a member of the group that has weekly calls with the DfE, I should have some idea what will be included but I honestly did not know. It’s a large group and therefore hard to manage as a conversation, although we also have the option to email ideas too. I think many people have done this but whether the ideas are welcomed is anyone’s guess. I don’t get to see a draft, maybe there is an inner circle but either way I wasn’t too panicked by the guidance as it all seems possible.
