Look insideThe Mum-Minder
“I’m Sadie and I’m nearly nine. Mum’s a childminder, but she doesn’t have to mind me. I can mind myself, easy-peasy.”
Sadie’s used to letting her mum look after the kids she child-minds, while she looks after herself. But when Mum goes down with flu, suddenly Sadie finds herself looking after the whole lot of them! There’s three-year-old Gemma, two-year-old Vincent, babies Clive and Sara – and Mum too, of course. Luckily, when the children’s mums decide to pitch in and help, the craziest week in Sadie’s life also turns out to be the most exciting!
