    Default prospective parent

    i have a parent coming on monday to see me about childcare for her 15 month old daughter,

    i'm also waiting to hear from 2 sets of parents, 1 for a 4 month old and the other for 7 month old twins.

    i want it to go well and for me to sound like i know what i'm doing i get all toung tied

    I get toungue tied too and end up giving the parents the EYFS passport to fill out.

    i ask ...

    what hours they need
    will they provide meals or would they like you to provide
    does the child have any additional needs
    does the child have any special dietry requirements



    errrrrr
