Hey!

I hope you have your phone ringing soon :)
Have you advertised a lot? Been to children's centres, playgroups, toy libraries etc. to put the word out there..?

Been advertising like mad, at local schools, toddler groups, shop windows, netmums, childcare.co.uk, local childminders all have my number. Ive had a few enquiries and some parents have been out to see me but have decided to go elsewhere. They will come eventually, I just know it.

likewise - they will be like busses heather, just you wait! all of a sudden we will be inundated with enquiries and we will be stressing over who to pick and who to turn away! just you wait and see!

I sooo know the feeling! I have advertised every where I can think of. Have I had a phone call? not a dickie bird! Starting to get very down in the dumps, really shouldn't have got my hopes up about working. :(

Good luck I hope that phone starts ringing for you soon.

I definitely need some good vibes sending my way. As of 3 weeks time I lose my only little mindee. :-( his mum is having another baby and not returning to work. Since losing the 3 siblings last year this has been my only enquiry, so I am now desperate!! I am down to 1 after schoolie 5 days his brother 1 day, term time only and another after schoolie 2 days, not enough to keep me going. :(

I am in the same situation, taken ages to get my registration thinking once i got it they would be flooding in, but nothing, very frustrating!!! lets hope it will pick up soon.

Still time before the schools go back - lots of parents leave it until the last minute.

Fingers crossed all your advertising pays off soon

The good vibes must have worked, i had call last night from someone wanting 4 days a week for a 2 year old, shes coming to see me tomorrow and another parent who came today is coming back to sign contracts next week.
