left very dissopionted
After lots of messages back and forth over a number of days, both myself and Katie where happy with the discussed hours. Then nearly a full afternoon in her home we discussed this further, she was very friendly and couldn't wait to start looking after my son. I then went home and trawled through the copious amounts of paperwork to be read and signed. I dropped my son off on his 1st day with one months payment in cash( feeling relieved id found someone i could trust) only to receive a text ( not even a phone call) the next day explaining that someone else had asked her to take there children for more hours and although she'd accepted to take my son and entered in to a contract felt that it would be too much to have Corey now! Thanks for that, not only have you totally wasted my time and disappointed a little boy! You have behaved extremely unprofessionally.

Full afternoon in my house = 30 minutes, child wasn't present.
Month payment = 2 weeks payment and 1 week getting returned.
The other parent = had both children for 1 year so my priorities are with that parent.
Yes it was probably my fault as I should of definitely had a pre visit normally only do this with younger children and I felt there was not enough space for all children as I haven't got the outdoor space, I'm annoyed with my self but I certainly didn't want the boy to get attached to me then say it later on.
I then messaged other childminders in the area for vacancies.
