    Smile Just had an inquiry

    Most of the local childminders are complaing about how quiet things are at the moment. Im lucky that Im full (as full as I want to be 2 two yrs and 1 three yr Mon-Fri)

    Just had a phone call from a lady want three day for a 6 month old.

    Told her that I was full at the moment and gave her a few other numbers to try but always cheers me up when you get a call. I must be advertising in the right places to get the contacts

    Strangely though the lady was returning to work on Monday - does seem a little late in the day to start sorting out childcare - no time for settling in

    At least you are getting phone calls, but like you say that is very late leaving it to find cover.

    Fingers crossed Anne...! I wonder if she's been let down elsewhere? That would explain the rush I suppose!
