Getting a bit ahead of myself but fingers crossed I have a mindee lined up for the New Year so I need to have everything clear so I can give his mum the relevant information.
It would involve collecting a 3 year old from Nursery at 11.30am and then taking him to the school at 3.00pm for handover to mum who will be collecting his older brother. She doesn't want me to be on call for the Nursery so would be paying me for 3.5 hours each day from 11.30am.
In the school holidays, she would need me to look after both boys from 9.00am until 3.00pm. Do you do a seperate contract for holidays for both boys?
Also, I have a baby of my own who will be 13 months old by then so I would be able to look after one other mindee under 5 year but presumably I couldn't take another even for a couple of hours up to 11.30am as this mindee would need that place in the holidays? If this is the case, would you normally ask the parent to pay anything in term time as you have to keep that space open? (Hope you understand what I mean!).
Finally, the older boy will be 5 in May 2009 and is starting full-time school in January. Am I right in thinking that for ratio purposes he would be classed as an over 5 for the school holidays up to his birthday? Would I need to do EYFS observations for him if I am only looking after him in the holidays?
Thanks for any help you can give.
