hi everyone
i dont usually post on here but thought i would give it a go
i have my first ofsted inspection at the end of the month. I have been going since nov 2012 so i feel that's not long really.
I only child mind a girl 3-4 days a week it used to be for 3 hours a day but the hours are increasing soon.
I have found it hard to find children to child mind I'm in a village, I have been to the child-minding group once so the other child minders know about me and that's how I found the child I have now because one of the other child minders passed my number on which was very nice. I have had some business cards made and left them in my local doctors, shop for people to pick up. I'm also on the childcare.co.uk payed a fee once but didn't get many inquires. I am also on yell and I have a facebook page is there anything more I can be doing? I have also asked at my local school and children's center but they said they cannot advertise.
Any advice for me, for the inspection also? With me only having a girl part time will this affect my ofsted grading?
Thanks.
Jodie
