Settling a Child in with a Childminder

It will take time for parents, children and Childminder to build a relationship. The longer you have before you go back to work, the easier it will be, because you can step up your visits over a period of time.

Once you have arranged for the childminding place to be kept open by payment of a retainer, you can visit once or twice for half an hour or an hour, staying with your child, and then leave her for short periods, perhaps while you go shopping.

Say goodbye to the child and tell them very clearly that you will be coming back. When they see that you do come back they will feel happier about being left for longer periods.
