So quiet....

....on the enquiry front. Hence me asking the Q earlier about chasing up.

I've had 3 enquiries this year. 1 starts in July, (that was from Feb!), one started & never paid, and this other one, that has been to see 4 minders with vacancies.

I hate this part of it. I've got ads up, we've just done another leaflet drop, but unless someones needs childcare, there's nothing more I can do. Plus the fact that 4 of the other minders in the village are all getting spaces from Sept due to kids going to school, so we're all fighting for the same children!!

I need a big influx of babies to be born to sort us all out!

Just thought I'd let off steam - sorry!
