Hi all i'm new to this. I've been an observer for a while and thought i'd finally come and say hello. I'm currently a nursery nurse but i'm looking in to doing something slightly different so have been thinking about childminding. My question is would you be put off taking your LO's to a childminder who is young. I'm 21 but i have 5 years experience, 6 months in a school, 6 months in a maintained nursery, 6 months in a daycare ( all 3 of these were part time work placements) and then i have worked for the 3 and half years in a private nursery and am currently 3rd in Charge. I understand some parents could be put of due to my age but i'm hoping this could work to my advantage too maybe, and would you think differently after hearing my experience? So basically looking for opinions?


Thanks in advance.
