Vacancies – August 2010

Pauline — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 20:40:46 +0000

It has been very busy recently with enquiries pouring in. I am pretty full up at the moment and have very limited space left.
At present this is how I stand:

1 part time vacancy – All day Monday, Thursday and Friday.

I have no places available for a child under 12 months old at present.

I am also unable to take on any other child that is at nursery or play group. I am already doing nursery and school runs (all at the opposite side of town) and I am really pushed for time getting from one side of the town to the other.

Places can change quite quickly due to changes in families circumstances, so please feel free to contact me if you are looking for something else, and I can hold onto your details and contact you should a place arise.

Changes to payments – important information

Pauline — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 20:26:45 +0000

As of the 13th of September 2010, all childcare payments must be paid by standing order.
Payments should be in my bank each Monday by the latest. Payments can be made Weekly in advance or Monthly in advance. If you choose to pay monthly, I will issue you with an invoice 1 week before payment is due. This will inform you how much is due the following month, because it will vary depending if it is a four or five week month. All monthly payments need to be paid by the 1st of each month.

Payment of Fees – Please read, important changes

Pauline — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 12:32:42 +0000

Please note that all fees are due to be paid in advance from Monday the 4th of January, as per the letter sent home in November.

All fees must now be paid for in advance, at the time of dropping your child off on their first day of childcare. If it is not paid then I will refuse childcare until it is paid.

This brings my service up to the same as other childminders and nurseries in the area.

Daily Diaries

Pauline — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 10:11:04 +0000

As you will have read from the last 2 news letters, I have been finding it very difficult to keep up with the daily diaries. With being so busy now I felt part of my day was being wasted writing up the diaries, and also rushing to get some filled in before parents arrived. So I have now done away with these books and have decided to make use of the website and post what we have done on here. It means instead of writing out 6 books, I am only writing it once. No personal details about your child will be written on the blog, I will speak to you personally when you pick your child up about any concerns etc that may have arisen. I will just give a general brief account of what we have done.

I can not guarentee that this will be written on a daily basis, but it will certainly be written up each weekend. I will also start using your email addys to send out newsletters and any information about updates etc. So please make sure that your email addresses are all up to date. I will send you all an email today with the new password for the site and also to test that all email addresses are valid

Latest Inspection Report

Pauline — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 10:03:25 +0000

My latest inspection report is now online for you to view. It can be found at:

When you get to the page, you will see my details, above that are some tabs that say Service Details, Quality Grades, Inspection Reports, Enforcements and Complaints. Click the inspection Reports and you can view this years one from there. There is also a copy of it on my notice board if you want to take it away to read.

I am very pleased with how this years inspection went and very pleased with my grades It now means that I should not be inspected until September 2011.
