I have a very good relationship with my local school, my daughter is in year 5, and my oldest one did too, plus all my older ones go there too. I often bake brownies, and just drop them into the office. I use the chocolate brownie mix from Costco, and everyone loves it. The school office is a place parents may ask about childcare, so it's worth keeping the office ladies sweet!! Also don't forget that often teachers need childcare too! I currently have the kids of one of their teachers, chair of the PTA, and another teacher lined up.
Find out when the new parents reception open evening/meeting is. The teachers may be able to discreetly pass your details on.
Good luck, and it will come.
