[cazr]

what is everybody putting in the packs for parents to take away?

im also looking for som presentation folders to give the stuff to them, the ones with like a lip on one side that holds it al in, struggling to find them cheap can anyone help?

Wilkos sell them for 6 for 99p,

I give parents an information pack with details about the service I offer and a leaflet about child tax credit which my Workforce development officer gave me. Its proved to be great because parents were'nt aware of the benefits they get when using child care.

That's a good idea Katie, wonder where I'd get some?...

My pack has a brochure showing opening and closing times, fees, that sort of thing... and a precis of my policies and procedures.

The rest I swamp them with when they've got a coffee in their hand! :D

Ive updated my parents pack loads - you come across things and think parents need be made aware of that AGAIN, even though you've said it time and time again. Like sickness policy and late collection! The benefits leaflet is for parents to promote the tax credit for childcare, have a word with your WFDO. They didnt charge me r the leaflets and gave me about 25.

I've just purchased a binding machine, I am hoping to make new packs for parents, I think I will try and get some tax credits info, also thought about putting in details of the childcare voucher schemes, but not sure which ones to put in, any ideas?

You could maybe just do a list of the most popular ones with phone numbers and website addressess and then that gives the parent a choice which one they can look into.

WHSmiths had the clip files cheap in their sale - once parents have signed up I use them to put a copy of all my policies fees and contract in for parent to keep
