...12yr old daugher of a friend at school (who walks home with me after school) has said that when she finishes school she would like to be....


...A REGISTERED CHILDMINDER...:clapping:

I jokingly said to her, "surely, I haven't put you off"?

But mum said, no. She's seen you with the kids, and thinks it'd be a fab job....


:laughing: :clapping: :laughing: :clapping:

So, thought it was a lovely thing to say.

(when can I let her do work-experience????)

aww, thats sweet. Think I have put my 11yr old off childcare for life :laughing:

My eldest used to say he wanted to be a childminder when he grew up because all you did was play with children all day!

My others have all said they'd never do it :laughing:

Trila period for the summer holidays :laughing:

Oh bless................. get her helping in the holidays! :thumbsup:

Miffy xx

My son is doing work experience in a couple of weeks. He wants to go into childcare and we tried to arrange a placement with another child minder as he intends to be my assistant whilst doing a part time college course.

He was told he couldn't do it as the workplace has to have at least two other employees. The only nursery which had a placement had to pull out as they have recently had an inadequate grading from Ofsted. So no work experience in a childcare setting for him. :angry:

:o My 2 grown up dds age 25 and 23 say "i'm never having kids"

Am I doing something wrong :p

my god daughter grew up with her mum being a nanny, working in a nursery and then childminding ... god daughter is just about to finish her teacher training !!! :D
