Good for you!

i had one who kept me waiting 6weeks until the dad found job. I'm sure you'll be fine! When they drop off in the morning, make sure that you look happy, smiling and confident, so that they feel happy that their child will be well care for - even though we know it will!!!

let us know how it goes!

That's brill Jo - when people see you out and about at toddler groups tell absolutely everybody what you do - they'll see how brill you're doing it! Leave your poster / cards / leaflet everywhere you go when you're with baby and you'll have too many in no time!!
Good luck!! Sarah x

Well done Jo - I'm sure that all will go fine for you all and how nice a baby. You won't believe how nervous I was going back into childminding and I had my first child!

It will be nice if baby stays with you for a long time and you can see them grow up. How about starting a scrapbook of your time together in anticipation of a long time together?

Will be thinking of you - best of luck.

I've got my feedback NVQ visit tomorrow

Hi Vik...

What a lovely idea, i think i will use that thank you!

Im a lil nervous, but im sure we will be fine, babies are so unpredictable, he seems fairly easy going on the occasions i have met him.
it will be nice to build a relationship as he grows and hopefully he will stay for a while

Good luck for tommorrow, you will be fine, how far into your NVQ are you??
