I invited the tutor of the local college to visit us as she wasn't sure what a childminding setting was.

She came, she saw & she was visibly impressed

So why did I then get a letter saying 'Oh good - our work placement student can come to your 'NURSERY'

I'm not a nursery

Grr

& yes I know I am being unreasonable

I think childminding is a rubbish description. I always think it sounds more like keeping an eye on the children, rather than doing something constructive with them. I think I'd like to be a childraiser ( though maybe that sounds rather like a hellraiser, but with young assistants! )

I alweays think too, that if I am the childminder, the kids mUst be chilren I mind, and the rest must be children I don't mind!
