    Default Hoping this is a turn around

    Well I finally plucked up the courage to speak to another childminder at the school pick today as she always seems to be full i told her i wasnt.

    Shes had couple enquiries lately who she couldnt help so is going to point them in my direction when she sees them at school next, now with one there could be a problem, would be starting in oct, not the prob, but baby will be 9 months then, where as my baby would be about 2 months, now im wondering if it would be worth asking ofsted for a variation if i got the child?

    On the up she is full and can point them in my direction, yay

    Absolutly! It would only be a temporary one, if you can cope with a 2mth amd a 9mth go for it.

    I am always going on about it because it is so valuble. Do you have a Childminder Drop in group near you? If you do I can highly recommend going even if you dont have mindees it is a valuble contact. Look what has happened by talking to a fellow in the playground!!

    Just goes to show we don't bite!!!!! Not hard anyway

    Hope it all comes good and you get lots of work.

    Well done you for having the guts to do that!
    I tend to hesitate in similar situations and after the event wonder what I was so fearful of!!
