I'm a member of Makro, got it through a charity I used to help run and then transferred it to my childminding.
You'll get a Makro card no probs but will have to prove you're childminder and self employed, not sure what they need now as I did mine a while ago

Joining Makro is really easy, there is a list of things on the website you need to take.

I am a member of Costco. We originally were members with my hustband working for HSBC being the main card holder but then I realised I could join as a childminder and in fact it is cheaper as a business holder. Also you can have as many additional card holders as you like and also you are able to enter from when they open rather than waiting till 12.00.

I think I took my registrationn certificate along it was certainly easy to do.

Before I moved I was a member of Makro and only had to take my certificate and some proof of address along:)

I am a Makro member, all you need to take is your certificate of registration and utility bill or driving licence. Don't use it very often as I find it rather expensive compared to some local shops. They also add VAT on at the checkout so beware. :eek:

hummmmm will deff look into this one lol
