Hi can anyone help me with Ideas.
I am potentially taking on a new mindee, we have had the initial meeting.
I discussed with mum the settling in period and that she was welcome to bring her LO for a few hours here and there before she starts. Mum was happy with this but has since called asked me to put together a settling in plan as baby is clingy ready for our next meeting after the weekend.
I know what I will do to try and settle baby quickly in my setting and make her feel secure but as I am being asked to put it down in written form I feel under pressure for it to be correct and contain the right things. I have asked her for a detailed daily routine that baby has now and for comforters to be brought etc and talked to mum about how I would help baby to settle but my mind has gone a blank in putting this plan together.
I also told her how one of my mindees who she met only comes once a week and was initially very clingy but now she is doing iincredibly well.
I know she is anxious about leaving her and just needs a little more reassurance.
Any ideas welcome :-)
