Benefits of Childminder over nursery/pre-school??

**Bluebell** · 28-08-2011, 08:45 AM

Hi I have been making some adjustments to my website - thank you to you for all your comments! I have some friends that said they wanted to hear more about me and more about the benefits of a childminder.

I've added quite a bit in the 'about' section but I'm not sure if it sounds like I'm slagging off pre-schools and nurseries? - which is NOT my intention!!!
How can I word it so I am saying for young children we offer a homely comforting environment while still following the EYFS??

Its www.bluelionchildcare.co.uk if you want to take a look!

I don't think it sounds like you are slagging off but not all nurseries are like schools - have a look at this little booklet from NCMA for ideas on selling yourself over nurseries - I especially like the bit about consistent care which is where I believe we excel over nurseries

Thank you - that booklet is brilliant and I have also put a link on my website to the NCMA page which explains the benefits of childminding.

Ooh, another Devonian!

Just a quick pointer - you've spelt 'particularly' very slightly wrong on your about page in the bit that goes 'Home based childcare can be particularly beneficial to young children'.

Thank you - have only just got round to checking in again! I've now corrected it! I've made a few other updates too. Hope I haven't overdone it!

Something to consider - without flashplayer you can't view your website. I mainly use my phone for surfingthe net as do more and more, maybe you could look at mobile website converters so that its visible to everyone?
