Happy February!

Well the weather has been better I suppose... at least we are not slipping and sliding and worrying about getting out on the school run and into the garden. It was surprisingly warm today and the children had great fun playing in the bog that used to be my lawn.

I have been busy writing mini e-books recently to support childminders who tell me they are struggling with their level 3 courses. I have written a comprehensive business plan mini e-book already and added two more to the range...

Mini 40 – Active Learning (4.2)

Mini 41 – Creativity and Critical Thinking (4.3)

I thought about other subjects that I have been asked to write things on recently and have added 2 more e-books which are new for February...

Mini 39 - Zoning the outside area
A lot of childminders tell me that they find it difficult to manage the needs of different ages of children outside. If you have problems with the footballers knocking over towers and the painters decorating the tent, zoning might be the way to go!

E-book 51 – Money matters £3.99
Everything you ever wanted to know about income and expenses! This e-book includes paperwork samples, explanations of how to keep accurate records, ideas for recording income and expenses and lots of other financial information. All information has been checked as accurate with HMRC. However information is changed /updated regularly so I have also given references of where you can go to find new details as they change.

I hope you are inspired!

I am working on my big 50th e-book at the moment - it is nearly ready. I will be launching it via my favourite forum - www.childmindingforum.co.uk.

Watch the competitions section for more details.

Talk soon :)
