Morning all, I have namechanged today just incase

after exhausting my efforts trawling through google this morning I thought I would seek some advice from the lovely ladies on MN.

I am a registered CM, been doing it for over a year now........and if I am being totally honest it's just not for me at all. I'm totally organsied and a very pro active person but I just don't seem to be getting into this at all. I left a very demanding but sociable job to do CM but I don't feel it's working.

My husband agrees and supports my decision to quit it, I also feel that it has changed (not for the better) my relationship with my DS (5) I do take my hat off to people who make this their calling in life, and I do beleive that in order to find out whether something is for you or not then you have to try it out.

I am currently working with 4 families, although most are part time or flexi hours I want to give them enough notice ( min 4 weeks as per contract)

my problem is writing the resignation letter, I am normally extrmely good with admin but I can not word this letter at all. I am not quitting because I don't like the children I care for or the families I work with, my decision is purely personal.

How do I word it that states I am leaving (without too much detail) etc etc

I also have a tendency to feel ultra guilty about things so I want to be firm but polite when writing my notice letters.

Has any one had any experience with this that could help

thank you so much and sorry for going on xx

Have you got a draft? I would keep it simple.

Dear parents

I am sorry to inform you that I will be permanently closing my childminding business on (X date) I have really enjoyed looking after your child/children for the last year/few months and it has been a pleasure to see them grow and thrive.

I enclose a list of local CMs/nurseries (info from family information service of local CMs etc) which may be useful. I wish you the very best for the future, yours sincerely,
