Hi all

I was supposed to have a lady come and vist Friday morning to sign contracts as I was having her little girl one day a week from April and she never showed! I cant even get hold of her either :angry: No either she has forgotten, something has happened or she is ignoring me and doesnt wish to use my childminding service although she gave no indication when I arranged to meet up that there was a problem:mad: :mad:

Also another lady who said when she came to visit that she wanted me has now changed her mind as well???? I think she did not realise the costs as I told her that I would require paymnt whilst her little girl was at school and now she has contacted to say, sorry for any inconvenience :mad:

I am at a loss to understand whats happened or if there is something I have done wrong! It doesnt help either that I feel like poo today as I think I have caught my little girls tummy bug :( :( :( :(

Its so annoying when they don't show.

The one that you are charging when they are at school, is that pre-school?

Keep advertising and someone better will come along!!!

Most childminders in my area charge for pre-school time too.
You didn`t choose to send them there (not compulsory like school) and lets face it, i bet you,like the rest of us have to do the too-ing and fro-ing to take and fetch the little darlings! :mad:

I certainly charged my parents!

It is annoying but something better will come along!
I charge for pre-school hours too - it's a good chunk out of the morning taking them and picking them up!
Hope you're feeling better soon X

It is annoying when this happens but unfortunately there's not much you can do about it.

Hope you fill your spaces soon

You tend to get used to this. Expect it to be a regular occurance.

Hope something comes along soon

Unfortunately this does happen, people are rude and dont get back to you, dont take it personally, it happens to us all.
