Childminders Club? Maybe Please?

[KatieMac]

As childminders (& often parents) we use this iste a lot and were wondering if (pretty please) we could have a Topic called Childminders club or childminding club.....for us to discuss issues like pricing/advertising/conflict with parents/children/training etc.....I know you have lots of topic - but we think this is different to Going back to work or Childcare topics that exsist......iyswim
Thanks - even if the answer is no

Yes please tech we would really like to support each other.

We feel that a CHILDMINDERS CLUB in the club section would be a great idea.

please there are alot of us here who are childminders.

It is different to going back to work because just as the mumsnetters who post there want to support each other and we are at the other end of the equation and so our needs are the opposite. IYSWIM

If it was called a club then it would mean that the childminders would understand it would be somewhere to go to get help and advice.

Also if someone was wanting to start out as a childminder they could join the club and we would be able to welcome them rather than putting it in chat and it getting lost and therefore no support.

please

ditto

Can I also say (not creeping at all) that it is very nice of Mumsnet to let childminders advertise for free on the childcare topic xxx

please tech

you would make lots of us very happy and we would be very supportive towards one another

perhaps it is because of all the fuss going on about new titles.

Ilike the topics 'cos I read the bits that interest me and then go to active cons if I have any 'spare' time

so do I and it makes it easier the next day to find a conversation to see what happened after going to bed.

I want to add my support to this thread!

I think it's a great idea and it would enable both childminders and parents to see each others point of view.

Great idea the 2 KM's!

thanks ssd we will keep asking

Adding my support and my sister's too

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site, but I think a childminders club would be great! Don't know many other childminders would be great to chat to someone in the same boat

So far we have
Kangamummy
Marslady
SSD
MilkyWay
MilkyWay's sister (whats her name M/W?)

Can we think of a way to contact the other childminders - can anyone remember any others?

Can we try to catch thier attention - you're doing a great job KangaMummy - is there anything else we can do?

sorry Em I missed you from the list (and ME )

I am going down the childcare list

Oh sister's mumsnet name is Tigerfairy but she's always too busy to post!

Aren't alibubbles and katiemac (and her husband) childminders?

Kangamummy
Marslady
SSD
MilkyWay
Em
TigerFairy
Katiemac

There should be hundreds of C/Mers out there (or at least a few dozen)

Oh What a pillock!! I am so stupid - durr......

I didn't really forget myself HONEST

But I suppose I should include my DH - I'll have to create a Mumsnet name for him - I thought of DarkDancer but he suggested SnakeHips

Anyone got any ideas.....

Totally support this thread as i am a childminder myself !!!!!
