Hi. I've never used a childminder before. I'm starting a new job in Chesterfield soon, which means I will have to set off at around 7am. My toddler is settled in the local nursery in S6 however the nursery doesn't open til 8. I'm wondering if childminders are willing to look after children as early as 7 and are prepared to drop them off at nursery?

u need 2 but wot nursery love

u need 2 but wot nursery love

Sorry, but I'm even more confused now! Why do I need 2 childminders? :confused:

sorry had a bad day wot nursery does the child go 2

im a childminder in s5 and was wondering if any childminders or parents want 2 meet up with the kids and go 2 the park or soft plat area ?????

Hi,

Could I ask which nursery it is? I have recently re-registered as a childminder and I live in S6. I usually start at 8am but, if I am within walking distance of the nursery I would be happy to help you out- I used to work in hospitals so I know how hard getting unsociable hours childcare is!
I do charge a higher hourly rate for unsociable hours, although this is standard practice.
Let me know and I will see if I can help you. My website is www.kerryslittlestars.co.uk and my number is 07840389034.

It might be worth reposting this in 'vacancies'. Contact the help desk to ask them to remove this thread, just repost in the Jobs section.

Hi Nishat!

I have lots of experience working with children - including babysitting! I also hold a current CRB check.
Would you require a babysitter who could look after your children at their house or are you looking for someone to travel to s6?

Hi Nishat just sent you a message hope i can be of help x

Just spoken to a really nice woman who works for 'at home childcare'. Nottingham based company recently expanded into Sheffield who match qualified childminders to families wanting flexible childcare in their own home. Hourly rate seems to be @ £6.50 so probably only really makes sense for families with 2 / 3 kids or where a couple of parents needing childcare club together.
We are thinking it sounds a better option than our local afterschool club.

Hi! I know it's a long shot, but here goes: I live in S6 and have a ten-month-old daughter. I am required to go back to work full time for three weeks, from 04th July to 22nd July this year. I can't find any "drop in" nurseries, but am wondering if anyone knows of a registered nanny/ chilminder who is available for that time? Thanks

if is only 3 weeks i can do this but im in s5 pm me more infor if u want

Our childminder is off on holiday next week but has said we still have to pay her for it! as she is self employed surely she doesnt get paid as we have to find alternative child care she had the holiday booked before she started work for us and told us about it but never said you will still have to pay me and has only told us this today which i am a little annoyed about. HELP!

Alot of nursuries do this with bank hols, however I think that she is out of order.
Surely if she is self employed she funds her own holidays.
Have you got any sort of contract or details of her policies?
If she has stated it in those then i'd pay up as you haven't read them.
Think i'd be looking for an alternative though.

Most childminders don't charge when they go on holiday, but do when you take yours.

If you google childminders holiday pay/entitlement there are numerous threads on other forums regarding this.
Some charge for 4 weeks holiday, some charge for a couple, some charge half their rate and some don't charge at all.
Most state its in the contract and they make parents well aware.
If your child is happy with the childminder and there are no other issues i would pay if it's in the contract.
If it wasn't then I wouldn't and change childcare providers.
I think really it's taking the mick as they are self employed and have chosen this job.
No other self employed people would be able to do this.

We havent signed any contract and she never said she wanted paying just said she was on hol so couldnt work (obviously) really cant afford to pay her and someone else to watch kids

Did she not give you any written documentation about her procedure, policies etc?
If she did and it doesn't state anything about holidays then I'd certainly argue that there is no mention of it.
Who is having the children instead Im presuming the childcare has been arranged already?

It's the same at private nurseries, total rip off i think!!

Did she not give you any written documentation about her procedure, policies etc?

Who is having the children instead Im presuming the childcare has been arranged already?

We are paying parents to do it for us as we get a bit of help so can pass that on she never mentioned or gave us a written contract stating that she wants paying fully while off and as the holiday was pre arranged and she is moving out of sheff soon had we known this we wouldnt have bothered, she has been working for us for 6 weeks now and on the day before she is off she decides to mention it which i also think was out of order if she says she is having it then it will be last she gets as i will be classing it as her notice.

hi, i was looking at becoming a childminder/nanny and i would have had to give the parents/employers a written notice and vice versa if they were to go on hol but the pay was arranged before any employment would have commenced. I know it sounds awful and she looks after your children but she has no right to do this, especially as there is no contract. although if you manage to sort this out and she continues to care for your children, it might be worth just writing up a small contract so your both clear on hours/pays/sick/whats expected etc. I also had to take 2 weeks of my holidays the same time as my employers would have, and the other 2 weeks with at least 4 weeks notice given.

If she is a registered childminder then you should have signed a contract with her. If she isn't then paying for her holiday is the least of your problems.

When I used to be a registered childminder, I used to charge if I was available, but not if I was not. So for the parents holidays, I was available but they were choosing not to use me, so I asked them to still pay me, otherwise each of them could have taken holidays and I would be without money each time. However when I went on holiday I wasn't available to offer the service so I didn't feel I could charge. I was also a member of a childminding co-operative, so when I went on holiday one of the other members would offer holiday cover at the same rate that I usually charged, for continuous care.

Hi all, i am looking for child care roughly once a fortnight on friday and saturday evenings, i have 3 children, my daughter is 7 and is autistic and i have 2 boys aged 4 and 5 months, i am looking for someone with experience of autistic children, who is qualified and has crb check, please get in touch with prices and info, i am in s5 just off herries road

Hi i have a level 3 in childcare and i have lots of experience in looking after child with special needs i worked for 3 years in a special school at the other side of town and i myself have a 18 old son with ADHD and ASD, i am at the morment doing training to be a nanny/childminder for special needs, i have a CRB what i did whilst working in the school i finished there in April 11,

I am a registered childminder and agree, I would only charge If I am available to take your child and not if I was on holiday. If she has not provided you with a contract I would strongly recommend that you get her to do one, other wise she doesn't have a leg to stand on. I always give at least 12 weeks notice if I am going in holiday and I usually seek alternative care for the family whilst I am away. I hope you get it sorted.

Hi my son is going to be attending Lydgate primary school in september needing someone to take him to school on certain days and pick up MUST BE REGISTERD

By the way I was asking because being a teacher with a CRB certificate doesn't exempt someone from needing to be registered!

Hello!

I have recently returned to work full-time Monday-Friday 9-5pm and my son (aged 6 months) has been in nursery and I have some BIG concerns about the standard of care in his nursery. He seems generally unhappy and upset on his return and has started to come back with nappy and sweat rashes. He has been consistently ill on and off with a number of different things (which I kind of expect to some extent) and they just keep getting his feeding times wrong e.g. they fed him a 7oz bottle and a 3oz bottle of milk within an hour (not my directions at all and seemingly illogical!). He also never seems to be playing and although the baby room was advertised as where he would be spending the majority of his time, he is never in there but with older children in another room.

His development seems to have stilted since starting nursery and its heartbreaking to think that I can't trust his nursery to take good care of him whilst I am away. Furthermore, he always seems to be with a different member of staff, some of whom struggle to communicate with me in English. I have never met his keyworker.

So its a genuine plea for recommendations-does anybody know of a good nursery or a childminder in the S5 or S6 area? Id be willing to travel further if I knew he'd be well looked after. Looking to save money if possible so £700+ nurseries are out I'm afraid.

Big thank you in advance

BadRobot.

I have heard lots of positives about primrose children's centre nursery (just off langsett road) Gonna be looking at that one ourselves in a few months time!

primrose is really popular. Put my lo down t join in about july and he has no chance of a place until at least after christmas! It is very popular!

i send my son to appletree nursey at gerenoside s35.
it is fantastic and if you can travel i would highly reccomend it. Fantastic baby room with mature and well qualified staff. no young girls on NVQ;s.
definatley give it a go, not fall from S5 and they have pricing plans to suite your financial situation.

Bole Hill Nursery, Bole Hill Road at Walkley...my daughter v happy there from age 2 until school. V caring, good food, indoor soft play, garden with play area, playground with bikes etc.
Can't speak for the baby routine, but their approach would suggest that they'll be good.

Hi there my sister has a 1 year old daughter and she is looking for a childminder in the lowedges or woodseats area asap....she is starting a new job on 31st October so needs to find somebody suitable preferrably this week. If anyone has any recommendations we'd be very grateful :)

my best friend has been working at the corner house nursery for 8yrs and i can honestly say its a brilliant place for kids to be looked after i would recommend them :D

It's not a personal recommendation as i'm lucky enough to have family and friends to help with childcare, but my friend has had her son in Corner House nursery since he was 6 months old. She has been continually impressed with standards there and her son is happy and content.

Another one who recommends Corner House. My daughter has been there since 7 months and is now 33 months and she loves it, care provided is fab, and the staff are brilliant.

Who's your friend Laura, my daughter probably knows her/him?

Oh but just seen you dont want to pay £700+
To be honest, all the nurseries I looked at you wouldn't get anything under that price
When I paid for daughter fulltime 0800-1800 mon-fri it was about £730, but would rather pay that than save a few quid and have her in a rubbish nursery

omg aint they so expensive, feel sorry u have to pay all that

Dear all,

I was wondering if there are any registered childminders/nannies who are willing to work 12am til 4am one night a month??I have two children aged 6 and 3.

Who leaves their kids 12am till 4am ?

Who leaves their kids 12am till 4am ?

My friend is a doctor and a single parent. She has to work nights occasionally and has a childminder who sleeps over.

My friend is a doctor and a single parent. She has to work nights occasionally and has a childminder who sleeps over.

Thats more of a babysitter than a childminder.

Who leaves their kids 12am till 4am ?

Someone that has to work to provide for their families, regardless to the hours or what job it is...
And do childminders suddenly turn to babysitters after dark? I'm sure there's somebody out there that will do this. I also know a single parent Dr that has a childminder that let's the kids sleep at her house occasionally.
X

Thats more of a babysitter than a childminder.

I guess so. Regardless, the point I'm making is that Mr Pops' should hold off on the judgement. My friend quite likes doing the night shift because she can spend more time that week with her kids when they're awake.

TBH you'll be lucky to find good childcare for much less than £700 pcm! I spent ages reseaching childcare in S6 area and the cheapest I found was £715 pcm and you had to provide the meals.

Advertising for childminder in your local shop/school maybe useful. Childminders are often linked to schools or asking at a local mother group might help.

Good luck

I'm not sure of the costs but 'Early Days Children's Centre' at Parson Cross were graded 'outstanding' in their last Ofsted report.

Hi Sam,

I am a childminder myself but I'm lucky enough to currently have a full schedule. Have you tried advertising on some classified sites rather than forums? Try sites like Tendea, they have a lot of babysitters/nannies etc or even Gumtree.
I'll see if i can pass your phone number on anyway and i'll see if anybody i know is free, where do you live?

All the best,

Clairexx

Hello!

I have recently returned to work full-time Monday-Friday 9-5pm and my son (aged 6 months) has been in nursery and I have some BIG concerns about the standard of care in his nursery. He seems generally unhappy and upset on his return and has started to come back with nappy and sweat rashes. He has been consistently ill on and off with a number of different things (which I kind of expect to some extent) and they just keep getting his feeding times wrong e.g. they fed him a 7oz bottle and a 3oz bottle of milk within an hour (not my directions at all and seemingly illogical!). He also never seems to be playing and although the baby room was advertised as where he would be spending the majority of his time, he is never in there but with older children in another room.

His development seems to have stilted since starting nursery and its heartbreaking to think that I can't trust his nursery to take good care of him whilst I am away. Furthermore, he always seems to be with a different member of staff, some of whom struggle to communicate with me in English. I have never met his keyworker.

So its a genuine plea for recommendations-does anybody know of a good nursery or a childminder in the S5 or S6 area? Id be willing to travel further if I knew he'd be well looked after. Looking to save money if possible so £700+ nurseries are out I'm afraid.

Big thank you in advance
