Hi all!
I'm still in planning stages and start my course (I think it's like the CYCPOP5, but provided by county council) on 1 Feb! I'm very excited!
I think that I just want to try to get 4 - 5 school age children and do an out of school club type set up, preferrably all over 8's but I'll register for all ages and take what I can get! lol Just wondering if anyone knows anyone who does this? I know most people take the little ones because you can have them all day. But, if I can get 4 - 5 kids a day for before and/or after school I'll be happy with that income, as well as the 6 hours of relative peace in between! :cool:
Also, does anyone do a school run to a school that's not one of the closest to them? There are some areas 5 - 10 minutes drive away that are in more need of cm's but I'm not sure that parents would want to drive to me. I have a feeling that if I want all schoolies, my chosen school has to be a carefully thought out tactic.
Finally, what are parents going to think if I tell them that I can't start until I give my current job 1 months notice? Is that going to put them off, do you think??? I'm really worried about that but we can't afford for me to go a few months without any income! :(
Thank's all! :thumbsup:
