Hi
I am a newly registered childminder and have had an enquiry and visit booked for collection to drop and pick up from preschool.
what I am wondering is, do CM do a trial run with the parent to meet the staff to be able to release child to me (so they can meet me etc), or is it just turn up on the day and collect child etc? should I have a password with the preschool?
any tips? not had this before.
they want three days a week, drop off to preschool at 9 and collect at 2pm. am happy to charge my normal rate for the time I have the child- but do I charge a middle fee, in case I need to get child earlier if sick for example?. this is all year round so in holidays would have child and sister all day for the three days, so not sure if it would be fair!
