I am sure this happens in a lot of minders houses but I want to try and stop this now.
It generally starts with one minded. A lot of my mindees arrive and leave around the same time so it can be a busy time. I will give you an example.
7.30 mindee 1 arrives, comes in no problem
7.35 second mindee arrives first minded starts to growl at other mindee run around bonkers and basically be extremely bad mannered. Then its the same old story, once one child starts they bounce off each other.
On pick up its the same, they can be busy doing a craft/activity in another room and it starts again. Its normally one particular minded then they all bounce off each other.
Yesterday one minded was collected, the particular minded came in started growling at everyone's doing things they know they have not allowed to do, generally start misbehaving.
I have tried to get them all settled around this time doing or enjoying things but as soon as the door goes that's it. If I was the parent picking up I wouldn't be impressed and above everything else it doesn't make me look very good and I can't do a proper hand over.
I do drop off and collections into the back of the house and children are generally in another room. Any ideas?
