    You'll be fine - don't worry - play with the child and let the parent look at your paperwork then answer any questions they have

    Simples!

    Good luck

    Dont panic, you will be fine.

    Make sure you interact with the child. I find that this goes a long way with parents.

    Good luck

    Can I hold your hand? I've got a parent coming today as well at 4pm and I've not interviewed a stranger since last September. Any other mindees have come from people I know.
    Fingers crossed for both of us

    Have a look at this, when I first started it really helped me to prepare for the questions I might be asked so I had the answers prepared.

    I know have this in my welcome booklet as a starter for parents, it usually answers most of their questions.
