Good luck you will be fine

It does not matter if the partner is an X at the end of the day he is coming to see you because he is the babys parent - so treat him the same as you would any other

Be yourself

Hope you get the job

Was the mum that made me nervous yesterday - she phoned to make sure it would be ok to bring him and then added that he wanted to come as he didnt agree with her choice of minder last time!!!

Oh I can see why you would be nervous then

Try not to think about it and hope that he thinks that you are better than the last minder

You offering a good service so prove it to them

Good luck

Well they have been and gone - and for the first time ever i am feeling very positive. Mum and Dad are both really nice people and really seemed pleased with my setting.

Mum explained that the last childminder used to let her down at the last minute sometimes not turning up at collection point to get child. And apparently in the year she was with her the child never made anything never painted or anything. So can see why its a big decision for them this time round.

They are seeing somebody else on Monday who apparently was recommended by a friend of a friend of a friend. So fingers crossed.

How awful to hear that a parent has had a bad experience with a childminder. Fingers crossed for you again so you can show we are not all like that

It went really well. Got all nervous for nothing! sounds like they had a terrible time with their last minder not turning up and phoning them at the last minute. Also apparently the child never bought anything home that she had made or drawn!

They were both really nice people. They seemed to like my setting and they had a look at my ofsted report which apparently their other minder only gave them bits of, not a copy of the whole thing!

They are going to let me know on MOnday. And the little boy is only 7 months and is a real sweetie!
