Beginning to think I'm cursed when it comes to childminders!

First Bethany's closed down. Gutted, but found another childminder for Naomi & signed Bethany up to an after school club.

Due back at work in 4 months, so I emailed Naomi's minder to make sure things were still ok - she's replied saying she's closing down, too! She's recommended 2 others, one is full and one can only take her 2 days a week...

I feel your pain. My boys closed down and the only other local one reserved me spaces (which I said I would pay for but not use yet), messaged me to say she gave the spaces to someone else

Who can start now 🙄 there is no other childminder able to collect from nursery

Oh no!

I've contacted 4 different childminders this afternoon, 5 if you count my friend who I just went to for a recommendation.

The first one could do 2 days

The second was full

Then the third wanted a retainer, which wouldn't even be deducted against the first month like a deposit - they then tried to justify it saying all minders charge this (not in my experience, they don't)

At this point I asked my friend, who managed to get me a number for a 4th minder who's opening in the new year - and she can take Naomi! Just can't sort out contracts until her registration is through.

@k1mt, that’s great you have something sorted.

We have just had to ask my MIL to do an extra day which great is cheaper but I hate her and she doesn’t do anything with the kids. But hubby doesn’t work away all the time so won’t be a weekly fixture thank god
