At the moment I seem to be in Limbo....everything is up in the air and no decisions can be made for another couple of months due to it being too early to make decisions. Although Sept is only round the corner for me, its a long way off for parents to tell me what their plans are.
I've got a couple of children leaving for school in 5-6mths and I need to fill spaces, I've also got 2 older children leaving for secondary school maybe freeing up some space.
But I haven't got any secure answers yet. I have lots of maybe's and it's hard!
For September I've got
A family of 3 coming back from maternity (no signed contract yet but will do very soon HOPEFULLY, 12m,3yrs,6yrs)
A sibling 11m (hopefully starting but Mums not sure what date she's going back to work, she's also entitled to change her mind)
A 4yr old who I have 2 days a week but Mum doesn't know if she's continuing care when she starts school. She might change her hours to suit the school run.
2x 11yr olds starting secondary school who MAY make their own way to my house but Mums don't know yet as its too early to say. 1 Mum's contract finishes in July so she doesn't know what she's going to be doing in September.
So no definite answers at the moment with enquiries coming in is really frustrating to be hanging on. I think I might give everyone a deadline of Easter to make their decisions.
I am a very organised person and NEED TO KNOW NOW. This job is so hard at times. :o
