Sorry, but I know this is going to be a long one :blush:
Ok, about a month after I registered I received a call from a mum wanting childcare for her 7 year old daughter for 2 hours after school on a Thursday including school pick up, I said I couldn't do it as it was a totally different school to where my son goes but she said that it can be done as she picks up her nephew from my sons school and makes it to her daughters school on time. I felt desperate for mindees so I agreed for her to come and see me, the first meeting mum came on her own she is lovely but she was questioning me about any children I have had with special needs? I said I haven't had any as I am newly registered, she then told me that her daughter is slightly autistic I said that is no problem whatsoever.
Anyway a few weeks later mum came back and brought D with her, she is lovely she seemed to really take to me. I had D for a couple of hours on my own last week and everything was fine and she is coming again in a week or so.
But here is my dilema, I got a call last week from a friend of my little boys mum asking me if I can have her 2 boys 2-3 nights a week after school + school hols same school as my son!!! 1 boy is 7 and the other is 4 going into reception.I said I didn't know if I will have the space for the 4 year old but would let her know this week.
Well after reading on here I rang Ofsted and the 4 year old will count in my 5-8's group as he will be in full time education and I do have those spaces available but only if I don't have the girl!!!!!!
The boys will be ALOT easier and be a better business decision.
Omg what am I going to do????
How do I go about letting this mum down? I feel awful :(
ps. Nothing has been signed and no money has been handed over.
pps. I hope this makes sense, sorry it is soooo long :blush: x x x
