Morning,
Moved to south west last year so I gave up CM to relocate. Been working in nursery settings (one horrendous), next one much better - but the whole ethos goes against everything I know - you know what I mean 'No, don't do that' when we should be thinking 'why not...?' And keeping instruments for circle time only (not letting them explore & use them as they want to) etc. etc.
I have remained registered with Ofsted the whole time, and recently notified LA - but I'm not up on their vacancy list yet. I have also popped into local CM group - who were lovely and supportive.
So, I have tentatively started (ie childcare.co.uk) advertising to re-start business in September .... But am worried that as newbie to area - I will not get enquiries (it seems everyone knows everyone else !!)
Also need to consider recent changes - Agency vs Independent (which is better?) ... and has there been a change yet about food business regs for CMs?
Although I've made decision to jump back in - I'm feeling very unsure :panic:
Thanks muchly
