I have to say that there seems to be a wide range of people doing this qualification and all have different ways in working and expressing things.
Those on here that give the 'harsh' replies I am sure are doing it out of the good of their heart but I can't help wonder if they have got too wrapped up in the buearucratic awfulness of the early years sector - sometimes you can go too far and lose sight of the fun and reward that just being and playing with the children brings |
Hi Gracygrey
A bling bling frame think i am going to have it turned to gold lol, i havent seen it yet but i am looking forward to it. It took me a year to complete but tutor has had my folder for just under three months, i had 18 months to complete but pushed myself through the summer holidays to finish. I think optional units are harder because within the handbook i used there was very little information or none at all and i think we all need guidance just to check that we are completing things properly.
Regarding the harsh replies that some people give yes i think that they think they are being helpful, which in a way they are but you could word things differently and more politely and i know that they have more knowledge and more experience than any one on here but perhaps they need to go on a communicate course.
Like i have said i am in childcare because i love my job and i get so much from it and hopefully so do the children within my care, I have a main role within my setting and i attend loads of courses to keep up to date with things, in fact my tutor has said that my setting is one of the best for attending courses and identifying training needs.
Anyway thankyou for your kind reply but i am thicked skinned and alot of what people say will go over my head
Lynne
