well i'm feeling extremely low today. this week has been awful. here's a run down:

my pp emailed to turn me down on wed

my pp who cancelled last week hasn't contacted me to rearrange

my 2 after school mindees gave notice

and i've just got a letter from neighbour giving notice for her s

end result - i now have no mindes at all!

don't know what i'm going to do!

Dont dispare these things have a way of turning themselves around.
Have a cheery cup of tea or something stronger seen as you have no mindee's today and then get back on the bike ready to ride again.
make your self a pro active list of things to do to get your children back.
make adverts for shops near you ect
contact health visitor/social services for respite care
advertise on the net
phone your local childminders group and see what is going around
Keep going and good luck
call this a holiday and then it wont seem so bad

I don't know if you remember me saying last week, but my friend lost all her mindees too. Since yesterday she now has 2 mindees for 3 days each and a full timer and has just had to turn down another full timer!!! Don't despair things can change very quickly.

Hope all works out well.

Fingers crossed you get some new mindees quickly.

(Is a pp potential parent? I can't work out what it is!)

yes sorry that's what we used to abbreviate them to when i worked in a private school!

Just got a call from pp to say she won't be rearranging as she no longer wants the space. Fantastic!

what a bummer for you :( and you've only been working for a few months too

things can change very quickly though in a good way too, you are empty now, by end of the week you could be full, it's the fickle nature of the business I'm afraid

Hope you get some more enquiries soon
