Hi girls
Just got another enquiry from a Mum with a 8.5 month old baby. She is coming over tomorrow afternoon for a visit. She has already explained to me that she is keeping her options open and is not sure whether to go childminding or nursery route. She has told me that she is visiting a nursery and another childminder as well.
She is not returning to work till June and needs 3 full days a week.
I of course gave her my opinion that childminders are better from my own experience.
Okay what I need advice on is what I should be showing her. Obviously policies and paper work and prospectus.
-Should I give her a prospectus to take away?
-As for policies I don't have much regarding babies, are there any specific one's I should be writing up?
-What about deposits or retainers, or do I wait until she says I am the one?
- Anything else that I might have not thought about??
Obviously I am competing with another childminder and a nursery so need to be amazing!
Your advice, as always, would be greatly appreciated!
