Good evening everyone,
I am looking for some advice from childminders who have been here / had experience of childminders who have.
I am currently pregnant with my second child due early June 2015, and trying to decide how much time to take off work. I want to keep clients happy but dont want to jeapordize new baby settling and older child (who will be 20 months) getting settled with the new situation also. What do you think is a reasonable amount of time to take off?
Also, it is fantastic I will be eligible for 9 months of maternity allowance (£27 per day) and if I work a bit they can pro rata it, for example if I work 1 day a week they will still give me allowance for the other 4. However, is there any point working one day if I earn less than that £27?
Any advice is welcome as parents are wanting to know how much time I am taking off.
Thank you
