I've been childminding since 2007 and except for my First Aid I've not been on a training course.
I did my child protection and food hygiene at home. This is because my dh works 90miles away, takes the car to work and I have 2 children and no babysitter.
Now I'm becoming accredited and need to do 'Progress from the start' so I've looked at the training booklet (like I always do) and they are offering 3 dates throughout November.
Weds 9.30am-12.30am
Weds 6pm-9pm
Thurs 9.30am-12.30am
The council offer me £10 to cover costs...WOW
I work 8-6pm and the 6pm one is a 50min drive away and I have no way of getting there other than taxi which will cost a fortune and no one to watch my two children (dh doesn't arrive home until 7pm)
The daytime ones I definitely cant do without losing a substantial amount of money and letting down two families.
Does anyone else find it difficult. I live right on the southern border of the county so travelling to the northern part takes between 50-60mins.
Plus Im becoming accredited for a family I work for, I dont particularly want to lose wages over this. :(
