We're half way through the week and the long bank holiday weekend is in sight :clapping:
We've got another lovely day. The sun's shining and the sky is blue. It was a little bit cold first thing, but it was the sort of cold that you know is going to go away! We've been outside for a while but came in for nappy changes and the children decided to stay in. They've got the box of cars out and are making a traffic jam around the room. That will probably keep them busy until story time then lunch.
This morning I've had a couple more enquiries. They're coming in thick and fast at the moment and I've been passing them on to other childminders as I haven't got any spaces. We've had a few local childminders retire or change jobs recently, so parents are finding it increasingly difficult to find anyone with vacancies. It's good news for childminders but not such good news for parents.
Easter gifts. Do any of you give the children anything for Easter? I send crafts home and something sweet that the children have made (rice crispy nests this year), but I don't give Easter eggs or a present. Social media is making me question myself again when I see all the goodies some childminders are sending home! I'm wondering if I should have got them a little Easter egg at least!
