Hi families and childminders. I am looking for some advice.

I am currently a childminders assistant, but looking to leave and set up myself.

I live in a flat on the ground floor. Was wondering what parents thought about childminders in a flat, no garden?

Does this put you off? I have no stairs so easy to access.

Also are there any childminders near me on here?

Or childminders in the same type of property?

Thanks

My daughter used to go to a childminder in a little first floor flat. The CM was great, the kids went out every day so they weren't cooped up and my daughter was very happy.


If the weather is bad the kids wouldn't be outside that much even if there was a garden so in my view what goes on inside, the activities and outings you have and the general quality of care are much more important. The garden is more of a nice to have.

This would not put me off at all. My son's childminder used to live in a flat and I did not even occur to me to consider that to be an issue. I went to see loads of childminders before I decided, some of which lived in large houses with lovely gardens. When I walked into the one we choose in the end, I felt straight away that it was the right fit for us. She was warm, patient, experienced, the other kids clearly loved her and she was active (a must for my boy). She was always out and about with the kids. The fact that she lived in a flat did not even occur to me to be a factor for consideration.


Go for it, good luck!!

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
