References

[ShimmerAndShite]

Im.starting the process to become a childminder and saw that I need 2 references as part of the application. I've never worked in childcare and have been a stay at home mum for 5 years so I have no idea who I could get. Who did other people use for their referees? Thanks

I wrote one for a childminder who volunteers at our playgroup. Do you do anything like that?

Do you mean playgroup like nursery or stay and play type? I don't go anywhere often enough to have volunteered to be honest

Ours is a stay and play. Do you do any other volunteering where you can ask?

Mine were just two friends.

That's brilliant thanks Snap, I thought they had to be more professional references than that!

I don't do any volunteering as we don't go to any groups that regularly so it's good to know there are other options!

Have you done any babysitting?
