It would be 4 weeks from when you send the letter. Just make the next invoice up until the end of the notice period. Good luck x

It would normally be 4 weeks from the date of the letter, but depending on which contracts you use the notice period shouldn't include any holidays - are you closed at all over easter, or are the children away at all?
If the 4 weeks takes you into April you would invoice them as normal for those extra few days.
Are you happy for them to leave before the end of the 4 week period if they make other arrangements before then? Some parents might want to leave sooner than the 4 weeks, so have a think about how you would deal with that.

Hiya no one away over easter and im open apart from bank hols but they are only at end of march so already been took off this months invoice, they have all signed contract that states 4 weeks notice either way after the first month so they coukd leave before 4 weeks but they would still be paying x

I just wanted to say good luck. I have been doing this job for about a year, and have found it really tough at times. The first 6 months I found really tough, especially the lack of adult contact and not being able to give my own kids 100%. Things have settled down, I have met some other CMs who I see weekly, and I am working less days (at the moment just 2 days a week and 3 days a week after easter) so I get to spend time with my 3 yo before he starts school in Sept 17 and catch up with friends. Having the support of other CMs has made the world of difference.
Anyway, I'm sure its the right decision for you.

Yes that might be an option, drop to part time, see how you feel. Take each day as it comes xxx

Sorry to hear you're struggling. If you think you're going to have to continue for the time being I would strongly recommend dropping to PT - even 1 day break from it makes a massive difference but I've found working 3 long days at full capacity so much easier than then 5 day week for less hours/children. I would also urge you to get out of the house every day and try and make contact with other local cm's. I found the first 6 months really hard partly because I was adjusting to being self-employed working with children (from a corporate office) but mainly because I was so busy trying to recreate a nursery environment & keep perfect eyfs records that I didn't go anywhere or see any adults for 10 hours a day. I now love my job and my week flies by - i work Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and have an at home day Thursday but go out Monday & Wednesday. Sometimes to toddler groups, other times the park, woods, bus to the library or childminding group. I've got 2 good cm friends and we often do days out together or just go to each other' houses. It's this variety and adult conversation that makes the difference and hard as it is to start, it is worth the first few cringeworthy times you go to a group & speak to no one . I really hope it works out for you
