I am starting Childminding again and now have my son Max who is taking my under 1's place.
From May I will have A 1 year old term time only.
From March I will have B 2 afternoons a week for 2.5 hours each time.
Today a parent came about having C a couple of afternoons a week - but they may then need me full-time, so Id have to let B go as Id have 4 under 5's - I would feel so bad about doing this - but obviously I need the money of the full timer.
I was doing a couple of hours babysiting a week for B - and then she asked if I could have him at mine so he could socialise etc.
I could apply for a variation for continuity of care - but Ive already had to apply for a months variation so B could start as he is a month off of a year.
I will also need to do the same for child A when he starts as my son wont be 1 untill June, and A will be 10 months.
I wonder if Ofsted will think Im being cheeky asking for 3 variations in 3 months!
Has anyone else had to let a mindee go before as they were only there for a few hours and you then had an enquiery for a full timer?
