Hello again... Just love this site!!

Just had my inspection and now I realise I am going to have a long wait before I recieve the all clear to start.
Had some advice to start advertising - Has anyone got any suggestions it would be HUGE Help. Thank you :)

Also is there any free ad`s you can put out there - just looked in a local newspaper and its quite deer... and quite shocking:eek:

They are all free advertising, and you will get loads of responses;)

A friend of mine who's new to childminding has had some t-shirts printed. She got the t-shirts from M+S (nice fitted styling) and she took them to a local t-shirt printers. She had her business name (XXXX childcare) as a small logo on the chest and on the back she's had it printed with 'registered childminder' in larger letters. They look very nice. I don't know how much they cost but they can be offset as a business expense.

o glad you got it done on, it only charges if you want it to appear on top listings for so many days, but wat i do is after about 3 days i go into reset settings and just type in my password (not actually changing any settings) and within 4 hours it is on the first page again at the top:thumbsup:

Try netmums aswell!
