My Requirements

While we wait for an alternative provision (probably 1-2 years away) I could do with someone to provide respite. Probably a mixture of playing video games, encouraging him to get outside in playful ways, the occasional excursion, perhaps attempting some slightly educational activities! But also sometimes just being in the house to keep him safe whilst I go out, as he sometimes just wants his own space.

I'm also happy to try getting him to a different setting, so if there's the option of bringing him to you and him being with a couple of other children, that might be possible. He would also probably respond to a variety each week so it would be great if you could play it by ear and suggest new things.

I've ticked every day and nearly every box because I'd appreciate anything! Realistically my budget won't cover that, but if you're registered as a childminder then I think I can claim some of it back through Universal Credit. If you're registered I think I would be able to afford 10-20 hours per week, and one weekly overnight in the foreseeable future once he's comfortable with you.
