Yes it is very disappointing but keep at it, you prob wouldnt want the ones that dont turn up any way.
I had a lot went I moved that came to see me spent an hour or hour and half
in my home and promised to call me and never did!!!! Some people are so rude.
Keep going the right families will come along.
I did a brochure about my business as part of my Herts Quality Assurance Acreditation that has helped I always send or deliver it to parents before the visit, this means I have to have their full contact details always try to get a landline no as well as mobile, if they are happy to give this info they nearly always turn up or at least phone if they are not coming. If you pm me your email I'd be happy to share the brochure with you.

How annoying - that's so rude and inconsiderate
Console yourself with the thought you are probably better off without them. Hopefully some nicer parents will come along soon

hi, could i have a look at your brochure too please im trying to design one and it would be great to see if im doing it right
i agree that its very rude but maybe they would be like that after yo took them on to so it might be best they have shown what they are like sooner rather than later

No idea if this would work for you or not, but in future could you perhaps get their phone number when they ring and then give them a courtesy call on the morning of the interview to remind them of their appointment? If they have no intention to come they may just say they've found somebody or something but at least you'd know...

I had her name and contact number and i thought of calling her or texting her this morning to check she was coming but i thought it might seem pushy?? Perhaps i should be in future. Thanks for the replies ladies :)

you could of course text her tonight to pretend you are concerned that she is okay - as you waited in and you had not heard from her.....:rolleyes:

How rude. If I were you I would ring her and ask if everything is ok and if there was any problem.

Thanks for the advice ladies, i text the lady, she text me back immediatly, she had been caught up at work and forgot to call me and was apologetic and embarresed (sp) that i had waited in for her. I told her these things happen and to call me if she wanted to arrange another time, and she's coming tomorrow :jump for joy: ....... im so glad i text, so a really big thankyou to you ladies as i dont feel so nervous to text someone if it ever happens again :)

I agree and i sometimes ring parents the night b4 to confirm or the day of meeting and then i wont wait in longer than an hour with out ringing back and say sorry if your not on way i have to go out,,, (white lie) its happened to me too many times and i got fedup of staying in on a nice sunny day waiting for parents that dont ring or turn up. x
