Hi All,
This is my first ever post so a bit nervous. Just got a very basic questions really - how do I turn down a potential client without upsetting them?
Been minding about a year and so far all my mindees have come from friends of friends but this lady was totally new, she came for a look around and I found her really difficult to get along with. It wasn't that she was outwardly horrible but she challenged nearly everything I said and I felt on the back foot, and a quite uncomfortable in my own home. I just feel that she is not someone I would like to deal with regularly and I think I would dread her days. I don't actually need the work and its only 6 hours per week anyway, so I would like to say no to her, but have no idea how?! And is that legal?! I googled childminder refusing to take a client and brought up loads of stuff about discrimination - yikes!!!:eek:
