that is it.. i am done being a childminder

[MaryPoppinsMagic]

Have started several threads over the last few weeks on here and aibu.

I've been registered since september and every parent I have had has messed me about.

The latest was - I am ending the trial because you want to take my son to the shop.

If this is the future then I don't want it. Going to have to pay back the set up grant but oh well.

You are so wrong silly do not be misled into thinking that just because a nursery is private it will be really good often not the case. Glad you were happy with your childcare each to their own but you might like to reread your posts and sunshines and see who comes across more immature, if sunshine had said all nurseries were bad that would be narrow minded.

Also us nannies see loads of nurseries not just one.

Do not ofter come into this section not a nanny or anything. However I am a younger mumsnetter and much more on facebook than here. One person had a different opinion not a personal one so why are you getting personel sillyoldself. Its a site full of different opinions if someone does not agree with your childcare tough do not read it. I am pregnant at the moment and know nothing about childcare so I am interested in peoples opinions as I might go back to work, nannies and childminders have been slated to on mumsnet, not just nurseries.

I can see why you are doing it I am trying to justify going back to work too its really hard because I think the mum is the best care and nurseries there is so may staff leaving all the time, one of my friends worked in four in a year.

OP you sound like a fab childminder hope it is all working out.

Popcornchicken you are right mum is best but not always possible I have a lovely childminder and I think she is as close as being a mum as I could be. My childminder could not do one day so looked at nurseries was shocked at them to be honest they had to sleep on the floor on mats just not cosy.

My sister uses a nursey as she does not want any one to get close to her child which is really silly. She likes the turnover of staff.

Did not go with the nursery lucky I could afford the more expensive option of a nanny. But I do not work guilt free.
