Childminding Name

[JoCrisp]

Hi All, I'm new to Childminding and am currently training in King's Lynn Norfolk. This forum has been a godsend and I often trawl through for help and advice! I know everyone has mixed feelings about names but I am seeing this is a business that I intend to grow and for me it is important to have a name. I will then use this on all my documents and my website. I don't really want to use my name and there are several nurseries in the area that use the word 'Little' so I'm looking to avoid this. Can anyone help with some names, or my brainstorming as I'm now hitting a brick wall!

Words I like that I'm playing with include:
Star
Angel
Doodle(s)
Sparkle

I'm open to suggestions!

If it helps I have toyed with the idea of using the area in which I live which is West Winch but I can't think of anything! My house also has a name - Saxon House, again this gives me no inspiration! I want something catchy that I will easily be able to create a logo from and also set the right impression to parents! That I'm serious, professional and passionate about my job.

Thanks in advance

The only one thats comes to mind is from your name Crispy Critters.

Sounds like a cross between a pet shop and a chip shop, sorry jillplum...:laughing: I know that's know help whatsoever.
I like Saxon House, it's a good strong name. What about Saxon House Childcare...That would make me sit up and take notice!

I was going to say something like Saxon Stars or Saxon House but loocyloo beat me to it!
It would definitely stand out as being original but professional sounding.

Thank you all so much for the ideas! I love Crispy Critters, it actually made me laugh! Not sure if that is what I want potential parents to do though, so may need a rethink! I just love it though, so catchy!! I had thought about calling it Saxon House but I'm worried it sounds a little like an old people's home rather than a childminders. I like the idea of Saxon Stars or Saxon Explorers. Maybe I'll go with one of those although I'm struggling to stay away from Crispy Critters.

Thank you all for your input x

Awww go on you know you want to be crispy critters :D

Like Saxon explorers!

What about some kind of play on words with Saxon? Thinking along the lines of the Anglo-Saxons, maybe Saxons Angels? Or perhaps something that works with the word! I'm so stuck on this! It is something that matters to me and has to give out the right impression to perspective parents.

Thanks again, to everyone so far x
