glad you like il ive been doing it years and its really changed but for the better as now i feel like its more of a profession with all the paperwork , where before i was doing lots and bringing kids along i had nothing to show for it well now ive got blooming shelves of evidence haha and i feel really proud . i also think others now know what we do and look at us with more respect ( hopefully) i only meant to do it for a couple of years but where else would i have the freedom i have now i cant imagine doing anything else . now ive got to grips more or less with eyfs i feel really happy.:clapping: hope you continue to feel asgood about it too x

There was a time just before i got registered i thought i'd give up, too much waiting etc
But i'm glad i done it, glad i have paper work that looks proffessional,
and the kids never want to go home :laughing: :laughing:
One begged her mum to stay an extra half hour today, and as she lives up the street i said i'd walk her there. We were playing with coloured water. I didn't mind her staying as mine was still awake, and the mum was well happy to get half an hour to herself.

IT is fab!!

I absolutely second that Kerri. I am a couple of weeks behind you but can honestly say, now I've cracked it with R and have L starting in two weeks, I am loving it! The parents I have are fantastic, I wouldn't swap any of them for the world. I was always worried I wouldn't have enough work but that is certainly not the case and I am very thankful. Becoming a childminder was definitely the right choice for me too and as Kerri has already said, it's blooming brilliant!

I am however looking forward to the long weekend with my little family though :clapping:
