Parent visit due

[Rachel1983]

Hi All


I have a parent visit at 11 today. It's for a little girl that is 10 months . Does anyone have any advice ?
Every time I have a parent come I feel they only see things they don't like . I.e my age, I have no children on my own and don't have a garden.

How can I sell myself more so to speak ? Any tips greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

All of those things can be an advantage - you have no garden means you go out every day and vary the places you go (lots of different experiences offered, be specific). You are young - you have plenty of energy lol! You want to be professional, if they are 1st time parents, you might want to explain what a childminder is and what they do, explain the EYFS and LJ's... You have no children of you're own - you have experience with other children & more time to spend quality time with their baby

Put out some baby toys and sit down and play with baby while talking to the parents

I have a minded child in today. So hopin that shows what I offer... Think the mum is a teacher so eyfs should be something she knows about . do u think there is anything I should ask ?

Maybe ask the childs likes and dislikes routine etc. Good luck and let us know how it goes, and what did she ask ?

I don't think it went well

She asked my routine
Do I provide meals
How do I put children to sleep

I think u can tell of people will come
Back I feel she won't

Oh well all good practice
