Not sure first 'interview' went well..

[Suzie_Homemaker]

Now I'm fighting my anxiety because I feel as though I did something wrong, but today was my first ever visit/interview and it seemed very short! It only lasted about 10 minutes. It was mentioned that I have a smaller space, but I countered by pointing out that I will provide 3 outdoor play times each day (so plenty of opportunities to run around and burn some energy).
Thing is, I'm the shy, quieter type and always worry that it comes off very negitively... I always try to be less shy, and aim for friendly and welcoming. I feel as though I handled all the questions and queries quite well.
How long do visits/interviews usually last for you guys, on average?
I have no children in my care yet as I'm not yet open, and this parent said everything would need to be discussed with the child's other parent (parents are separated) which is completely understandable and yet I'm still stressing and not quite sure why!

It so hard to judge. Some people naturally chatty and think it all gone well, and they not come. Other people more reserved and then when think they not interested, they want come.

I do phone interview first. That get rid of all people who want longer hour, odd arrangement and people who I not think will fit in on personal level. When people come to see daycare, they already had phone interview, seen paper work and just need see space and meet me. Sometimes that can be 30 mins, sometimes an hour. It just depending.

A agree that 3 outdoor times might be bit much. I have big focus on outside as my house small but we have lot land. In Winter we go out in morning for couple hours if not too cold, in Summer we return to yard around 3.30pm and stay outside for pickup.

Try relax once interview done. It out your control then. And just keep looked after even most successful interview until someone signs on contract and hands over their money. Until they do that, even if they say they want space, they not always mean in. Some parent say they want space to several carer to buy time when decide where they really going.
