Hi everyone can someone help me please.... just having a panick moment!!!!
I have just received my OFSTED certificate and started advertising and I have 2 emails on netmums enquiring about childminding. They are asking about references, what do I do about them? I know I am being stupid but I am from a iffoce background and people wrote off for references. I know that this wont happen here but what references will be acceptable?? Would I be able to ask my old work colleagues to write one up for me? will it need to be on letter headed paper and signed by them?
Also one lady is saying that she would need someone to have her daughter for 3 days a week. so this is another stupid question but do i charge this as part time or by the hour??? I haven't been linked to a childminder in my area yet so they can chat to me about this, the council have my details but know one has come yet and at the moment I don't have a car and all playgroups are too far away so i need some help!!!!
when they come round what do I talk about with them, obviously the child but can anyone just tell me the basics so i know not to miss anything out???. What sort of questions will they ask me?
Oh my god I am sooooo excited! Hubby said he will set himself up in the garage now so he doesn't have to cope with loads of kids ha ha ha ha ha
can anyone help me please?
