questions to ask?

[samgeordie]

Well the parent who enquired by e-mail this morning has arranged to visit me on Sat morning with her toddler and her husband:clapping: .

I will have my folder for them to look at, all the important docs, plenty of toys for the wee one etc but I was wondering what kind of questions I should be asking them?

The little girl is 15mths old.

Any help appreicated.

Thanks

You need to ask a few and you probably won't remember them all at once if you're anything like me. You need to know what they eat and drink, when they sleep, do they have a favourite toy they can bring, I'm sure you will think of things when you are chatting and I usualy know whether I like them or not (parents!!) pretty quick so if I do it's easy and friendly and if I don't, I don't worry too much. Can I say that? :panic: If they choose you - and you choose them of course, you can email or ring them to ask these things and we do have forms we can give them to fill in, I made one asking all the questions I could think of which they took away and filed in and brought back a day or two later. Hope this helps, sure others will answer you better!!!
