Hi, I guess its probably a no but would Ofsted grant a variation for me? It odesn't come under continuity of care.
I'll explain around xmas time my old neighbour popped by and asked if i was still minding as she was looking for someone for her daughter when she starts school in sept. It would be 8-9 then 12-4.15 mon- tues but from jan 3-4.15. Only 2 whole days during holidays. I never gave her any prices ect as she turned up out of the blue. She said she was looking round and i told her to pop back when i was minding. Any way we went to the school meeting last night and she asked about giving me a deposit. I had assumed that she didn't want me as i hadn't herd back.
Well on Fri i had a mum round for a 2 yr old mon-wed 8.3-5.3 her childminder is emigrating. She loved it and her son called my mindee his 'friend' but as her cm has to sell her house first i didn't take any retainer fee as we didn't know how long it will be for. We just left it that i will call her if i get any other calls. The mum also had a look at my sons preschool as i couldn't pick her son up from the one she had him down at. She really liked it and has put his name on the list. She did say she didn't know what to do. From that i got that she might be willing to hand in notice at current mindee to come to me.
Im only reg for 2 and have 1 full time mindee, the 2 yr old is the best option. I said to Ofsted at prereg i would only like to mindee 2. Its silly as the school mindee would go down to 7 hours after xmas.Which will mainly be taken up with walking to and from school.
Shall i phone up the 2 yr old mum and ask for £?? as a depoist say monthly till im needed? Typically i had an email for another mindee aswell last night.
