I have had no enquiries for new Mindees since Nov10.
I have just had an enquiry about after school care that I can't do so I told the lady on the phone of a couple of other mindees in the area and asked her where she got my number from.
She said she rang the local council at first for a list but they just gave her the local childminding groups number. So she rang the local school and found me.
The childminding group is a group that has been going for years and it has a vacancy list that quite a lot of childminders are on. 4yrs ago when I started minding I went along to their group but found it very hard to get into so stopped going after about 6months...everyone was pretty close and I found myself sat there.
I am now on this vacancy list but dont go along to the meetings..I am really cross that the council are only giving this number out...what about the childminders that arent part of it?
Theres no wonder ive had no enquiries for over 6m...Rant over :angry:
But in the back of my mind I'm wondering if the vacancies will go to the well established childminders first over myself :rolleyes:
