tatjana have found myself in your situation,
a childminder round the corner has been minding for 7 years or so & myself just coming up to 3 years.
Now when i first started out i asked her what the going rates where & she told me how to be firm with the parents & thats about all really.
She has been round mine recently asking how im getting on, & she's heard good things about me, heard iv got some good policies (for the way
I run
MY buisness) I'm a friendly person so made her a cuppa & talked about what policies i had in place (to which her jaw dropped slightly)
Then last week she came knocking again & asked to borrow all my policies,risk assesements,fire drill sheets the lot. I was taken by surprise & asked why, turns out she has a ofsted visit this week & has'nt prepared for it.
I feel awful but I
lied told her my sister had took them as she was wanting to become a childminder (my sister has a full time job in an office
)
But why after all my hard work should i let her be rewarded......
