    Default A little help please...

    ...I had a possible enquiry by e-mail yesterday - both parents do shifts so different times each week - not a problem I do out of hours care as I worked shifts many moons ago. I am one of the few childminders in area that does this.

    She has e-mailed back today saying another childminder has suggested shared care & what do I think about it. In other words I will get stuck with ***** times, so not keen to share care as I have vacancies. I am a few miles off her direct route to work so this is probably someone en-route. Trying to compose e-mail back about continuity of care etc, etc that sounds professional & plausable (not give me child I'm desperate ) any help with wording please?

    While I fully understand the benefits of shared care from a parent point of view, offering continuity and consistency for the child is very much the ethos of my childminding service...

    Something like that?
