After careful consideration, I have decided to change my services a little. I now look after children aged 0-5 and no longer offer school runs for older children as part of my service. This is so I can concentrate purely on activities for the young ones. This will be reviewed at a later date when my own son starts attending school himself. However, I am still happy to drop off and collect children from part time nursery classes.
