I have a perspective parent visiting tomorrow with her baby. From her name and after speaking on the phone English is clearly not her first language. Also she didn't seem particulary fluent, but that could be nerves as I have had a couple of enquiries from first time Mums recently and they have been really nervous at first.
I want to sell myself and give her all the relevant info but I don't want to overwhelm her. Equally I don't want to not give her enough information. I am based in a very middle class area and to be honest language problems don't normally occur? so I really lack experience with this.
I will obviously see how she is in person but if it looks to be a problem I thought that I'd keep the verbal discussion simple and give her everything else in writing to go through in her own time and at her own pace. Does that sound OK?
