I'm feeling rather guilty as I am going to have to let a very nice parent down.
It's all my own fault really - as I have two schools fairly close to me - one walking distance of 10 -the other driving of about 8 mins, so when I startes advertising I said I wasn't yet committed to either school.
This week, I had two sets of school parents visit, one for each school. They were both scheduled for tuesday initially, but one parent rearranged to Friday.
Tuesday meeting went well - before and after school care mon - fri for a 4 year old.
Anyway, by Friday, I hadn't heard from tuesdays parent, so decided to go ahead with the next meeting - which was only for 3 days collection, but better than nothing.
During the meeting I received a message from tuesdays parents wanting to sign me up - but I obviously didn't read it until the mum had gone. In fact- by time I read it - fridays mum had also messaged to say the same.
I obviously need to take the higher paying one as i'm new to this, and I have had another enquiry for that school now also - so makesthw decision much easier.
Have spent the morning trying to find another minder near me who does do that school so I can be helpful during let down but no luck.
Pointless post really, jyst needed to share my guilt :/
