Hello everyone
I've just got off the phone from a very hurried sounding woman who needs childcare (before and afterschool) as a one off next tuesday and wednesday.
This is fine as fits in my ratios (thanks Pip for all your digging - you set my mind at rest about rising 5s!)
BUT my paperwork tends to take about 2 hours to fill in before I take a child on (I get all NCMA contracts, NCMA child record forms, copy of each of my policys signed by parent and permissions signed......takes best part of 2 hours!)
am I unreasonable or being unnecessarily excessive in saying to parent yes, I can in theory look after your litte one on those days but we do need to meet up (you and little one and me) to see what you think and then...if we both want to go ahead....have to spend another evening going through my paperwork
mum thought it would be a case of me just saying "yes or no" so I've got slight alarm bells but just to check my silly worries....I am being correct and not excessive - even for a one off minding session?
thanks guys xxx
