Well - I have done it - the mum came today and was so impressed that she signed then up straight away - she said she had complete confidence that I could cope with 8 and I was so pleased at her reaction to all the things I do I just said yes!!!

So from Mid October I have 8 - should lose a bit of weight in the settling in weeks!!!

In the holidays I have 7 full timers (8am-6pm), it is tiring but there is never a dull moment! At the moment it feels quiet with only 5, trying to fill my vacancies.

Good Luck

Wow you are going to be sooo busy!

I have that many after school some days but I work with another childminder.

Enjoy!

That is great

In the holidays I have 10 and it is hectic but a lot are over 8 and they help too.

When I go out there are 3 of us to watch over our brood, which total 22

If you team up with others you should find it helps keep them occupied

Good luck x

Grief, don't know how you all do it. Most CMs in my area only seem to have two or three during the day and maximum 4 (in total) after school.
Bet the money is good though
