So, a while I posted about possibly joining forces with my MIL who is also a CM. She has a bigger house than I do, with a separate playroom. She also has a 'bar' in the garden (It started life as a bar, but is now a bedroom/lounge/bar/outside toilet).
We decided against completely becoming one, as it there was too much to go wrong. However we have started talking about it again. But not necessarily joining up, still being childminders in our own rights, our own contracts, children etc. But still turning the bar in to playroom and working from there most days.
MIL is terrible at the contract/interview/paperwork stuff so I would be able to help her out with that and I where my house is so small, I can move most of my 'work' in to the 'Explorer's Hut' and get some of my house back, especially as my boys are getting older now.
Like last time, I asked for advise, and things to think about, some tips. That really helped us in the decision making. So I am asking for that again.
There wll be no money that exchanges hands between us, my contracts will be mine, and her will be hers. If I get an enquiry that I can't quite accommodate but MIL can, I will pass it on as I normally do and vice versa. It will literally just mean I mostly work from her bulding and in return I help her.
