Hello

**The Queen** · 08-05-2009, 09:23 AM

This is The Queen just dropping by to wish the Forum a very happy birthday.
In one's family we generally use Nannies but I would quite happily farm out certain members of my household to a Registered Childminder.

Congratulations Pauline and to all the forum members

by Royal Degree - Keep up the Excellent Work

Thank you your majesty.

Very good of you to 'pop' in

Dee

Good morning Lizzie, could you please make it stop raining on our birthday.
Toodle pip.

(curtsy) Welcome to the forum your majesty and welcome to the party

**The Queen** · 08-05-2009, 09:34 AM

Beheaded???? off to the tower with that Monkey.

Yes, its a little known sideline of mine - I have been a registered childminder since 1950 and golly its changed so much but it really does keep one active.

Its a bit of a annus horriblus risk assessing ones home - so many rooms as I am sure you can imagine and Ofsted are here for quite some time but my last inpsection gained me an Outstanding Exceptional which I am quite proud of. Ofsted were particuarly impressed with all my security features and the amount of space I have available (which after all is pratically the whole country).
I have been trying to convince ones other (but not better) half to register - as I think parents would like a husband and wife team but no Philly is to busy with those blasted corgis and making gaffs

but I love him. One of my sons is quite interested in my job and so is his son - it quite a family tradition.

My children are all grown up but I am having difficulty in getting them to fly the coup.

Young lady... you are right but I have had a tough morning so far - one of parents was late and the children keep squabbling - I have had to call in the Guards to separate them.

i do like your picture next to your name

I do charge a fair bit but generally the people who use me can afford it. My prices (I am central London for the most part) are in the region of £200 per hour - although that does include some rather exquisite meals and some wonderful trips out - I have taken the children all round the world but when the costs go over a certain amount I do have to ask the parents for a contribution. I don't offer sibling discount nowadays - I still do the same amount of work - although my administration staff say that they keep fairly well up to date the with the learning journals.
