Teacher Mums

I am back full time teaching and have an 11 month old who is attending nursery. He is suffering and his immune systems is still developing but 3 weeks in and we’re already on tender hooks each day. My work have cracked down on attendance so I don’t feel I can take time off to look after my little one! The mum guilt is killing me and anxiety about him getting sick is breaking me. I don’t want to leave teaching but am beginning to think for my mental health I will have to! The option to drop days doesn’t work as I would have to do 3 or 2 days and I’m not sure financially that makes sense. Also I am not going to move schools as it feels like this is just what education has become and the nursery location was chosen based on where my school is for collection 😢

Hello, first time mum looking to go back to work part time - 4 days a week. I teach in a secondary school. Considering asking for a Wednesday- any part timers who can suggest what day off in the week works best? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone filled in an SPL form for a September/October baby? And can help me on dates?

I have done this before with my last baby but everything seems much more confusing this time and I need help! Desperately trying to get it done before baby arrives but don’t want to get it wrong.

I’m aware it’s very early days, but I’m concerned about how well my child’s settling in with the other children. Every day after pick up he tells me about how other children have said he can’t play with them, or words to that affect. It’s only negative comments on not joining in with other children. I only know one parent to have play dates. I’m not sure if/when I need to mention this to his teachers? Any objective advice appreciated.

Finally back home and cuddling my 6 week old after doing the first of two inset days. I am going back to SPL from next week, but wanted to do the INSET days to get an idea of plans for this year as I go back after Easter.

Anyone else have their INSET day today? Or have you already gone back?
