I'm new and at present only have 2 schoolies aged 8 and 10 two afternoons a week. Business is so slow and I am keen to get going but so far any enquiries I've had have mounted to nothing :-(

It took me a while to get going too. I was fortunate that my wife's friend needed childcare or it would have been about 2 months with no enquiries and no work. I'm now full so keep with it, it will turn out ok in the end :thumbsup:

I know how you feel!! Things are a bit slow for me too. I moved to a new area recently and had to give notice to all my old mindees. I keep getting lots of enquiries but they are all for the area that I used to live in, so they are no good to me. :( I think it just takes a little time to get established.

I've been Childminding for a year now. I now have one child for two days a week and a little baby starting three days a week soon. Wish I was busier too.
Fingers crossed it'll pick up soon x

I am finding it slow. Did 2 interviews during working day. Never again. Will do weekends and evenings. One boy hid in room and wouldn't come out. Next one another cried.
