Hi everyone!

As some of you may know I am currently working towards finishing my MEd dissertation which is exploring the relationship between parents and childminders.

The focus is the two-way flow of information between childminders and parents of early years children (birth to school-age).

A few months a go I asked for volunteers to help me fill in a questionnaire for my dissertation. I was overwhelmed by the support I received from you guys and I'm hoping you may help me again!

I'm looking for 50 childminders (you must have atleast one early child on your books) to PM their email address so I can send them a short questionnaire for them to complete and return. For those of you who completed my previous questionnaire I promise it is much simpler than the last one and won't take as long to complete!

Please please help and PM me your email address! I'll collate everyone's email addresses and as soon as I have enough I will email out the questionnaires (hopefully by the end of the week).

Thank you guys!

Thank you so much guys! I'm now up to 43 volunteers!!! Thanks to Ripeberry and Boxtree - I just need you guys to send me your email addresses!

Hopefully I will reach the magic no 50 today and then will send out the questionnaires to everyone at the same time!

If there are a few more lovely childminders who wouldn't mind filling out a questionnaire I'd be very grateful if you could pm me your email address!

If I could get back everyone's questionnaires by the end of next week I'd be really pleased as that will give me enough time to analyse th results before my next uni session!
