Hi,
I have been minding one child for a few weeks full time and have a second mindee starting tomorrow morning who will be part time, 3 days a week until nursery pick up.
What information if any do I have to tell my current parents?
I want to keep to confidentiality rules, but feel it would be nice to let the other parents know so they are not wondering 'who is this new child here with my child today?' ...and also at drop off time as it will be around the same time the other parents are dropping off ( within 5 mins of each other )
My other difficulty is that I want to tell the mum in person but as her shifts have been changed around, different family members have been dropping and collecting, so we communicate via daily diary and texts at the moment and I dont feel it appropriate to give this info by text.
What information do you give current parents about new mindees starting? and is info such as the days and age of the child enough?
Obviously their child will be in close contact with the other minded child, so I just want to make sure they are aware without giving too much information that they don't really need to know!
what do you do? and are parents funny when you take on new mindees?
all asleep in my house at the mo before lunch so using the time to get some advice before tomorrow
thanks
Sara
