Well - I have done it - the mum came today and was so impressed that she signed then up straight away - she said she had complete confidence that I could cope with 8 and I was so pleased at her reaction to all the things I do I just said yes!!!

So from Mid October I have 8 - should lose a bit of weight in the settling in weeks!!! :laughing:

In the holidays I have 7 full timers (8am-6pm), it is tiring but there is never a dull moment! At the moment it feels quiet with only 5, trying to fill my vacancies.

Good Luck

Claire:)

Wow you are going to be sooo busy!

I have that many after school some days but I work with another childminder.

Enjoy! :D

That is great

In the holidays I have 10 and it is hectic but a lot are over 8 and they help too.

When I go out there are 3 of us to watch over our brood, which total 22

If you team up with others you should find it helps keep them occupied

Wow I get tired out with 6 lol

Good luck x

Grief, don't know how you all do it. Most CMs in my area only seem to have two or three during the day and maximum 4 (in total) after school.
Bet the money is good though :thumbsup:

8 children, i get rushed off my feet with 5. Good luck with it

Busy, busy, busy!

Great news - well done!

Miffy xx

I have had 10 on the way to school before now, incl. my own 3 so 7 mindees.
My holiday spaces have really picked up now, have also had 9 and am now looking for a mini bus, lol! :D

Having 4 has been my max so far. Don't want to have any more than that at any 1 time. lol
