Soon Friday came and it was a big day for Freddy moving day as just as he told Jill his belongings filled up the back seat and trunk of a taxis and he desired not to bring Smudge on moving day so a neighbour at his old place kept her till he was settled in more

When Freddy arrived thankfully the place was furnished all Freddy did was hang his mirror in the bathroom also as he had his own bedding he stripped the bed and hung his clothes up and also he found 2 welcome notes in the kitchen one was from the former caretaker leaving instructions really

To the new caretaker

Though we won't meet I would congratulate you on your new job and hope you enjoy your job as much as I did I was caretaker since the preschool first opened its doors 15 years ago and enjoyed every second of it seeing the little ones grow up and go on to school and many came back to visit as collage kids

Their also house rules maybe staff will fail to say all repairs have to be carried out by you make sure the roof is fixed as their is a leaky roof if you have a car it's parked outside school gates between hours of 7.30 and 5pm after that it can be parked inside school grounds also you live on school grounds all the time you get good holidays your off when kids are off also you do have interactions with the kids your asked to help out with them if teachers are short staffed and at Xmas you have to dress as father Xmas and hand out gifts and maybe go on school trips to help out

If you have a pet don't let it out when the kids are outside as their has been a oodd case if animal cruelty at hands of a kid and as another kid was bit by a dog a few months ago their scared of dogs also your expected to dress smart Casual but smart but despite these rules the job is very rewarding so good luck and take care Tom

Freddy reread the note before putting it back in its envelope and talking to himself ' Aww that was nice of him sounds a nice guy " Freddy said to himself before opening the other note that was from the head of the preschool and that was more formal

Dear mr Kreugar

I hope you have settled into your new home and you will be with us for many years to come we are a small freinedly place and our first priority is the children

Now their are rules for the adults too and a lot of rules for you too I'm afraid especially as you are living on school grounds

Firstly you will be required to look tidy don't need to be over dressed in shirts and ties just causal clean clothes will be fine also you are allowed to keep a pet but we do not allow them near the children so if you have a dog please walk it by school fields and clean up any mess they make

You must keep your house tidy or outside anyway. as people will see your house when they come into the school no one wants an untidy house if you have a car during the day park it outside the school end of the road as parents park outside gates and teaches use the carpark park it their from 7 am till 5pm after that when school is closed feel free to bring it inside the grounds

Your jobs will varey their are mostly being a care taker of the school keeping grounds tidy picking up litter tending to the gardens apart from the cildren's garden they tend to that also you will be required to do mantinace as you said you can build and repair you will be asked to carry out repairs maybe even some plumbing work and also you are in charge of the school cleaners also you will come in contact with the children if the school is short staffed you will be required to help out on school outings sometimes even watch a class and at Christmas you will be asked to play Father Christmas and hand out presents and talk to the children and at Easter you will be asked to dress up as the Easter bunny and hide eggs in view of the children in our yearly egg hunt

If you do not go away on holiday time during school holidays you will be required to keep the gardens tidy and check on the school, the school has its separate caretaker but sometimes your expected to help him as well but you need to shout as he is hard of hearing and rarly wears his hearing aid

if their is anymore required from you someone will let you know if you have any questions I will be in my office please feel free to ask also we are family in thise school and we look after each other so o hope you enjoy working here and will be with us for many years to come

Yours sincerliy Mrs Tate ( Claire ) head teacher

" Okay easy enough rules I can follow ' Freddy said to himself looking around his new home that was small and nice
