I'm struggling to keep track of who I have when and when I could fit more in iykwim lol does anyone have a spread sheet or something they use to keep track

I'm sure I saw a download or something, where you make a grid with a column for each child and a row for each hour, you then block out the hours you are contracted to have each child, and your blank spaces are your free places.

I probably haven't explained it well, but hope that helps :)

I would be interested in any ideas for this too - not that i need it at the mo lol:laughing:

I have one I adapted from the Bromley website

Miffy xx

ooh i forgot about Bromley:thumbsup:



Hello again Miffy;)

I just did a spreadsheet, but you could do it on paper if it's easier...

It just has down the left side:

7.30-8
8-8.30
8.30-9
etc
etc

Then along the top it has Monday (with 3 columns), Tuesday (with 3 columns) etc

Then I just write their names in all the boxes they're there for, and I have their names in different colours.

Hope that makes sense!!

It works for me as it's very easy to see who I've got when.

It looks something like this:

Mon Mon Tue Tue
7.30-8 Child B Child B
8-8.30 Child A Child B Child B
8.30-9 Child A Child B Child B

and so on!

I have this if it is any use to you x I have attached it before so it will not let me do it again but this is the link.
