I am thinking about ringing CIS to see if they do grants in my area, is there a special name for the grant or not? also, is it CIS i ask about funding for courses i have heard so much about?
Sorry if i'm its in the wrong topic didn't know which one :o
Thank you!

CIS is a good place to start for all info... if they don't know they will usually know where to send you ... good luck! :D

Half the time it depends on who you get on the phone at the time.....pot luck!

Hopefully someone will call you back with an answer

have you been allocated a development officer yet? you could ask them

nope only got a support childminder thats it

Your support minder should know

Ask her!

your lucky we dont have support minders here x

In our area it is called Childminder start-up funding rather than a grant (as you don't actually see the money) If there is a grant in your area you should have been told on your ICP. I agree with Kelly76 you should ring your local council and ask to speak to a childcare development officer, they usually know about all the funding available.

Good Luck

Let us know how you get on

Good luck
