    Default Giving Up

    This is a bit of a double edged sword but I am happy and sad to be announcing that I am giving up childminding
    I have recently started another business which was a hobby but has taken off really, really well to the where I cannot invest the time in both businesses plus my family so something has to go. I have handed in my notice to my two lovely families, at the point where both they and I was in tears but everyone has been so understanding

    I wanted to thank everyone on this Forum,especially on the CSSIW section, without whom I could not have got through the registration process and subsequent queries with the SAF, the outcome of which resulted in a brilliant first year inspection report.

    I am selling most of my childminding bits and bobs so if any of my Welsh colleagues need additional resources to enhance their existing resources, or may be setting up as a new childminder, please email me. I have so much stuff here I will be listing it in due course but not be until the New Year.
    Thanks again,
    Petra x
