unreliable
I used this childminder and her sister for my 2 children recently, but it didnt work out as I did not find them forthcoming, professional or reliable. I was unable to advise on the care of my children as per their routine, as they responded with attitude, and no suggestions were well received.Despite giving the 4 weeks notice as per contract, she decided after 2 weeks on a Monday night at 5 pm that she wasnt going to look after them anymore and work the notice. This left me in dire staits as me and my husband work fulltime and had no childcare for the next day, and indeed the next 2 weeks. Despite our differences im sure anyone would agree this is an awful thing to do, and unfair on our children as well as us. They seem to be in it just for the money, and thats not the kind of people I want looking after my children. For someone running a business, I found their whole behaviour unprofessional and aggressive. So definetely no reccommendation from us.

To every story are two sides. There were differences from both sides and I thought the best thing would be to end the contract immediately to prevent any unnecessary arguements that I felt may have arisen if I had continued the care, I also did not think this was fair for any of the children in my care at the time. Also coming to me as you was not happy with previous childcare provider and in the end not happy with us I suggested that a nanny maybe more suitable. I had your childrens best interest at heart, which you also stated in a letter to me saying that the children were very happy and settled in our care. I think it was a shame that we could not work out the differences.
