i'm feeling really sad as i've had mindee for a year and he was my first regular his sibling is just starting school and going to a friend of the mum's who is as yet un-registered so parents feel it will be too much hassle to use both of us
i had a feeling this would happen but i still feel really shocked also he is my ds's favourite mindee and he always asks for him in the morning they are the same age and will go through nursery and school together

because it might cause an issue if they stop being friends at school and you are still minding him, can you imagine how difficult it would be if your ds was forced to have this boy at his house when he didn't like him? and how awkward it would be for you and the parents if the children fell out?

if they'll be going to nursery and school together it may work out for the best that you are not his childminder
