I'm asking because DS just started with the CM this week (today was his second day) and I have no idea what the correct 'CM etiquettes' are

The party is in 2 weeks time...

TIA :)

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I thirteen years of childminding I've only been invited to one child's birthday party and that was because our two families had become very close friends and also spent Sunday lunches, New Years Eves, trips to the theatre, etc together too.

In a normal childminding relationship I wouldn't expect to be invited and probably politely decline.

No no no. If he had been with her for a couple of years then maybe, but she hasn't really had time to get that attached to him that she'll want to spend her weekend celebrating his birthday.

No.

You employ her to look after your ds. No offence, but I'd be amazed if she wanted to spend her time off with him (and you) too!
