Well, it took me 9 mths to get kids after starting, and unfortunatley they were just after schoolers.
But now, I've taken on 1 full timer & her brother after school, and I have a full time 8 mth old starting in Sept. From Sept I will also have an under 5 space available.
Here's my problem(s)...
The ft will be at school in Sept, so that's 2 after schoolers I have. They've only been with me since end of Feb, as their old cm went on maternity leave. From speaking to old cm she seemed to think they were going back to her in Sept. Asked mum tonight, (as I'd rather know), and she said no, she didn't want to mess them about, as older one doesn't like change, & settle very well. (Has settled well & quick at my house though).
One of my other p/t also starts school in sept, and mum wants me to do til 7 every eve. And full time 8-7 during hols. So overall works out similar amounts of money.
On top of this, I have my 2, (both under 8), and a couple of other under 8's various nights,
If I keep the 2 I've only just taken on, then that means that can't take on anyone else from Sept. As over my numbers in the evenings, (so you say I could do until 3pm), but during the hols, I'd be over my numbers during the days too.
Arrrrgggghhhh what to do. I just don't want to get a reputation for letting people down. But I've had a few enquiries for September, so potentially could fill my ft space, and be earning more money.
What would you do. Stick to what you've got, or give notice....?
