A couple of weeks ago I let my CM know that I might be considering moving my DS to a more local placement. I told her that there were no issues with the care (true) but that someone I knew was going through the process of becoming registered as a CM and I was thinking ahead to drop offs at school etc. I emphasised that nothing was sorted officially but it would hopefully be sorted by Jan. Today she told me she had a child lined up and that within the next month my DS would no longer have a place. I was a bit floored by this as I had genuinely just intended to give her advance warning, not to completely terminate the placement!
Was I just a wally for doing this? I can see her point of view - she has a business to run. On the other hand I am a bit gutted. I wish I had kept my mouth shut! My new CM btw is not ready to take children yet.
