Hi there

Apart from getting my neighbours wee boy on 5th May - I got my first query today by phone and was so excited! Was a woman wanting her two wee girls, 3 and 5 minded but unfortunately would put me over my numbers as I would already have my son and other wee boy. She also needed me to collect them from nursery which coincided with my daughters pick up time so sadly not to be. Would have been brill though, Mon - Fri 8.30am - 6pm. Felt quite bad that I had to tell her I couldn't do it (even though she's probably phoned other childminders too).

Sure there will be more!

Fingers crossed.

Does your 5 year old not come into the next category. My daughter is 5 next week and have been told she then moves into the next category and lets me take another pre-schooler.

Its either 5 years or fulltime school when they move to the next categorie.
