I've got a mindee leaving me at the end of April - I'm going to really miss him :( Originally, I was only going to have him for 6wks, but he's been with me for nearly 2 years. Anyway, I've already got another mindee starting to fill his place, a lil' girl aged almost 3 years. She starts in May, parents coming round on Sunday to sign paperwork etc.
I've just been to soft play with mindee and saw new parent/mindee there, but she was so shy - didn't like me at all LOL. I tried talking to her and acting the fool, and I did get some positive reactions (giggling etc) from her. I'm just a bit worried now...how would you make her feel at ease on Sunday when they come round? I don't want to put her off, bless her. Should I just let her come to me, or try reeling her in with a few activities?
