I like it! I haven't named mine at all how boring is that? Everyone calls me Dee Dee so thinking of Dee Dee's ha ha (tried to register on this forum as Dee but was refused as I didn't know one of the moderators is also Dee!!!)

I haven't got a name either as I found everything I thought of seemed a little "childish" for the 10 yr plus age group that come after school and during the holidays iyswim. So over the years "Sonia's Childminding" has just appeared on my paperwork until I can think of something better

**georgie456** · 03-02-2010, 12:07 PM

I'm Lollipops Childminding. I chose it becaue it is my DD's nickname and i thought it had a nice ring to it.

**vicki1** · 03-02-2010, 12:11 PM

We are Totally Kids.
When dh registered and we started working together, using both our names was a bit of a mouthfull! so we decided to use a business name. We couldn't decide on a name so opened it up as a competition to the mindees parents

They came up with loads of great ideas and in the end we put the best ones into a bag and picked out a winner.

**Monkey1** · 03-02-2010, 07:27 PM

We are Cheeky Monkeys Childcare. One of the local minders is ''little Gems''

**LeanneC** · 03-02-2010, 08:02 PM

We play out and get all muddy making mudpies and stuff and I have babies who we sing lullabies too.....

Little Gems is cute i like it

**diddledumplings** · 04-02-2010, 09:48 AM

I'm called Diddle Dumplings Childminding! I googled any ideas I had first to see how many nurseries/minders ect had the same name.

I wish I had chosen something else now though as I've had a few people ring up and ask "is this Diddle Dumpings"

**SparklingGems** · 04-02-2010, 12:23 PM

Thank you for all your responses. I think I might just keep the name for now and decide once Im registered.

Some of you have fanatastic names for your businesses.

I can see why people just want to use their names too. The only reason why I decided on a name was that I go to a baby group and there is lots of parents looking for childcare and I asked them to give me feedback on childminding and most of them commented that they would of liked them to have a name something fun so the children could relate to.

Im now going to have to design a logo

easier said than done

sorry!

If you like it though that's all that matters.

The reason why I decided to use little as at the moment Im not going to have before and after school pickups and the children I have lined up are
all under 5.
