My friends, I wouldn't be the childminder or the person I am without you all. You support, you challenge and you make me laugh.
Thank you

I love this forum, it's given me endless ideas or crafts etc to do with my mindees and just provided some company when I need to feel like someone else understands the hassles this job brings!

There has also been a few times when it's shown me what not to do as a childminder lol!

I first started with just 'having a peek' then one day I took the plunge and joined the forum. It helps in many ways. The main one for me is I feel I'm not alone anymore. This can be an isolating job and since LA's don't have the money or resources to visit us as often I now feel I am part of a hugh 'virtual office' all working together to keep independent childminders achieiving their best, aiming high, being very well informed and advertising that we are 'out there' and we are not going to disappear. Thank you, for the vast range of topics discussed. It is always good to see another professionals view point as we can can learn from one another. Keep posting CM's!

I joined a few years ago. Sadly I didn't post for some time. But went through a bad time and came back here for childminding support. I won't be leaving the forum again. Great support, advice. Ideas. I love sharing my ideas and getting positive feedback.... Something I wasn't getting elsewhere xx love this group I no longer feel completely alone x
