Have been a manager of OSCC 10 years, also TA for 30 years. As you can guess I'm getting on a bit, but still just as passionate about it.

Hey,

I'm a playwork as I work in a out of school club, we do breakfask club before school, club after school hours and then a holiday club when school is closed for holidays like at the moment. I have been in the job for 1 and half years now and just finished my level 3 and love it loads.

Congratulations on finishing your level 3.
I love the kids at the club but am so fed up with the paper work. We go back next week, don't do holiday club, and everything is coming at me like a train!
