Hi everyone! I'm a long time lurker, first time poster and am currently working my way towards registration. I cannot tell you how unbelievably helpful this forum has been as I've learnt a huge amount about what the job entails and have noted loads of examples of good practice...thank you!
So, for the first of what will undoubtedly be many many questions I'll throw your way, does anyone know where I might find out about the £250 childminder start-up grant that the media have been teasing me with? I've asked the childminding team at my LA and they could shed no light (I'm already starting to see a pattern forming there!). They said they knew nothing about it and I should go back to my original source of info to find out more!
I'm guessing it's only available in certain areas but want to find out for sure I'm not eligible to apply.
Any help much appreciated :-)
