I was just wondering, with my business hat on...ten year plan 'n' all of that...
Is it better to work with an assistant or another childminder, and what the advantages and disadvantages of each are.
It seems that a lot of childminders use family members as their assistants, does anyone on here have an assistant who is not a family member??
Is there a difference in the number of children a childminder and assistant can look after compared to two childminders together?
Reason I'm asking, I had an enquiry from a nursery nurse who lives local to me. At the time I was newly registered and only had one child on my books. I had to tell her I had only just started out so couldn't justify paying another wage.
Has anyone also ever dreamt of opening a nursery? (am I allowed to say that on here)
