The problem with advertising too early is that you potentially have parents interested in your service, you are waiting for a CRB check or similar and you have to either turn them away or get in a pickle trying to help them.

I know Ofsted don't like newly registering minders to advertise until the process is complete, probably for the same reason.

However there's nothing in law to stop you.

Hth :D
