childminder A), pg and due two weeks after dd would start with her she is having 6 weeks off, this was intitialy a big problem for me but another mum has offered to pick DD up, but that leaves half term for me to have to sort out 3 full days. The lady has lots of energy and a big presence, that to me is a bit of a down side as she seems loude and the kind of person in the playground evryone knows is there talks loudly and openly about everything and is friends with lots of mums, im more private ecpecialy in the play ground and keep very much out of playground politics, im not sure she does. But saying that her enery and vibrance is probably a positive for the children. She will be looking after 3 other children in DDs class again a positive particularly for dd but worried about the downside of this, politics etc.
Childminder B) is older and looks after only one more child not sure on dds days but this child is a baby. Although dd will only be there 2 hours on 2 afternoons. Much quieter lady with less of a presence in the playground and in general. less toys and activities seem avilible in her house than lady As house.
opinions from others wanted please to help memake my mind up.
