EVERYTIME ive had enquiries/calls/visits over last few months theyve gone belly up, even as late as the date they were due to start ...familiy coming today, one toddler, not particulaly local, theyve asked if i can do pick up (6.30am start)..i WOULD be able to use the car at this time, but i also have another mindee who arrives at 6.30, so would have to pick new child up earlier..drop off may be a prob as id have other children here all leaving at diff times..argh..first enquiry/visit in weeks..what do i do 8-(.x

Would they seriously want you to pick up and drop off? Do cms usually do this? Perhaps you could offer just pick up? I doubt she'll find another cm with the flexibility to do this, either, so she will have to make some compromises.

I doesn't sound practical to me

what tiem would you be picking up the toddler - 6.30am? so you'd have to leave the house at what time?
