need an assistant holidays only

[franyfroo]

Hi all

I need an assistant for school holidays only. Any ideas how i would go about this, would you advertise etc.

How much should I pay.

is this so you can have more children in the hols? if so i think they would need to reg
or is it just to help you out without upping your numbers?
you could try childcare students

ps Ofsted will need to know btw

Montessori teachers, playgroup leaders, anyone who runs a course in termtime?

Pay depends on going rate, though presumably you're looking at offering fixed short term contracts?

I advertised in the Psycholgy dept of the local university (psych because I needed help with SN). Got loads of replied. Local teacher training/childcare etc colleges might be good places to tray.

I have been told that we should pay assistants minimum wage

i am registered for 4 under 5 with an assistant but numbers during school hols are 3 under 5s now, as it all got to busy. but numbers in hols are going to increase and would like a hols asst only. obviously she/he will have to fill out cm2 and crb. will try colleges thanks

yeah, min wage, which we don't even get per child!!

I know, shocking eh?

well, if there are any students training in childcare field, would be great to hear from you.
