I am now officially full!! :clapping:
I started the year (and my childminding career) with 3 full time children 2 girls (sisters) and their cousin (boy) 6 months, 18 months and 3.5 year now after 8 months the girls are moving out of the area :( .
I was gutted and in serious panic mode as I had given up a reliable office job and waited for over a year (since registering) to start. I was going to lose a huge chunk of pay and despite the constant barrage of advertising -nothing- was considering throwing in the towel. Then I had my first inspection - Outstanding:jump for joy: and totally un expected!!
Now how the tables have turned. Phone calls galore! I now have from September - my remaining mindee 2yrs, a 3ry old (with nursery run), 6yr old (after school), 7yr old (after school, no holidays), & 9yr old (after school no holidays) and a 10 month old (parents work shifts).
Will be a complete change but am up to the challenge! Anyone else got full house?!
Now am going to have to research what boys these ages enjoy - any tips welcome.
Sorry for essay but am so pleased!!!:)
