How many mindee's do you all have ??

[katie78]

I am registered for 4 mindee's, 2 of which are in the Eyfs bracket and 2 that are 5-8, but i was just wondering how full you all are and if you have got a waiting list at all ??

I rang a few local childminders today asking if they have any parents asking for care and they are full to pass my number on but a few of them said work is very thin on the ground at the mo

I know it can take a while to get going and i have been doing some advertising around and about with nothing yet

I've got siblings who do 1 day a week, and another mindee who comes 3 days a week. I have a new mindee starting in September who will do 2 days a week- various hours. It leaves me with one space on a Tuesday and one space on a Wednesday. I don't work Fridays and don't do school aged children.

I have 6 part time mindees and 1 full time, all eyfs age range.
2 school drop offs but it did take almost 2 years to build my business up and most of my business now comes from my own children's school and being at groups. My 2 are 8 now too which helps as not in my numbers so can do the extras for school runs.
I'll lose 2 of those 6 at the end of August though and at the moment I'm not looking to replace them as some days with only 2 mindees are much needed!

I work with hubby as my assistant and we are registered for 7 children per day.
Altogether throughout the week we have 14 children, 6 of which are in the EYFS I have before school, all day and after school children and the phone keeps on ringing, I have just taken a booking for January 2012

I have 2 two year olds and a four year old. All part time. The 4 year old starts full time school in September and is leaving me to join his older brother in the after school club. I'm hoping to fill his place as I don't think i can manage financially with just two. One does 4 days, the other 3. The latter may go up to 4 days in October though.

I do have a lady who wants the vacant place in September but is currently trying to find a job.

Mum of 3yr old on maternity leave would like me to have baby from July (he will be 8mths old). So will have to obtain a variation for 4 EYFS - 4 days a week

My own three children are 18, 16 and 13years old

I have 8 on my books at the moment

Started with just twins 1 day a week alongside retail job then built it up and left my job.
Mon - 1 schoolie + 4yo + 5yo twins
Tue - 1 schoolie + 4yo + 3yo
wed - 2 schoolies + 2x 4yo + 3yo
Thur - 5yo twins + 9m
Fri - 9m

My kids DS (8) and DD (14) are include in my numbers until they are 16 so am very restricted in numbers up here
Im as full as i want to be - wish folk would decide what they are doing after summer as some start school and because im in Scotland my spaces are precious and schoolies are taking up spaces
