I appear to be in a very enviable position but don't know what to do! So thought I'd ask everyone on here for their wise opinions ;)
I currently work Mon, Tues and Wed, all year round and have 1 space becoming available when my youngest starts school.
Enquiry A
All day Monday and Thurs am (9-1). This mum is physically unable to do much with her child because of a disability. I suggested Thurs am because I thought it would be nice to do something with the child on a one to one, such as soft play or swimming. Child is also starting a nursery setting on tues and wed so a bit wary of her having to cope with lots of new settings, having never been left by mum before.
Enquiry B
A mum from my school is increasing her hours at work and will either need 1 or 2 days a week, term time and school hours only.
So could accomodate both these enquiries but would not been earning as much in the school hols.
Enquiry C
Mum wants 3 full days a week, any days.
My head says go with option C as I would then have the same 3 children, 3 days a week and paperwork for only 3 children. Option A would be happy for me to do Thurs am only if I could not offer Monday so could possibly do this.
My heart thinks I should go with A & B as I saw them first and I don't have the heart to turn them away.
Opinions please.....
