Hi
Am new to the forum and two of us who intend to work together at my house have enrolled on the ICP course Jan 2010.
Abit about us: I dont have childminding experience but am nurse/midwife hoping to build up a childminding business at my home. In addition to the house, we have a dedicated playroom with separate entrance opp school and park. Neither of us will be having any more children unless a miracle occurs!
My childminding partner is happy to either be a reg assistant or Childminder registered at my address. She used to childmind for 6 years in her old home and then came out of it and let her registration lapse. So we are both starting afresh. Her 3 children are older and do not minding. Mine are 15 and my two 6 year old twin boys will obviously be included within our numbers. My husband works fulltime but is also happy to register with us should we need a 3rd person for any emergencies/short-term cover.
Not sure what else to say about us! From a parent point of view I have plenty of experience on the "other side" of it. Have used private nurseries/childminders and dare I say it.....au pairs for the last 15 years (as have always worked fulltime) so feel experienced from that point of view!
Would like to hear any advice/hints/tips about working in partnership with another childminder and pros and cons pretty please!
