It's very good!

Only thing I would say is I couldn't see your pictures properly as when enlarged they were blurry.

Actually these were the only ones i tried to enlarge as they had the smallest thumbnails. Others were fine as Carol says.

Thanks for the comments, i'll try to enlarge these then resubmit them to the website.

Looks great, had same problem with 2 photos of playroom though!!

The only comment I would make is to watch the discounts you offer. You say your hourly rate is £4.25, but only charge £17 for a morning or afternoon session (where lots of cm's charge an enhanced rate for half days as they can't always fill the rest of the day), and only £30 for a full 10 hour day. You are doing yourself out of £12.50 each day on a full day and over a week that adds up to £62.50, if you multiply that by 3 children

!!!!

I offer a discount on a ful day - hourly rate £3.50 and I charge £30 for 8 - 6 but I think you are being far too generous!!!!

The fees i'm charging are in line with what is charged in my area, most minders charge between £3.50-4 and £25 per day. This is what i started charging 3years ago and never put up my fees until now. Wish i could charge more.

Hi, its a nice website but the only thing I would be worried about is the adverts, ive just looked at it and there was very rude website advertising on your site. If i was a parent i would not look at rest of your website. I pay 60 pound a year for my website (fast hosts), and get no advertising on there. if it was normal advertising it wouldnt be too bad.

I agree with that. It looks like an ad for a porn site running across the top of the page. It started off as a mobile phone ad, which is fine, but then changed to something you really don't want on a childcare site

**tammys-tots** · 17-05-2011, 11:34 AM

Hi, yes thats the problem with free sites, i wouldnt have free one it really is annoying all those pop ups and now the porn ones as well not good when you are trying to get parents interested in your service.

**Roseolivia** · 17-05-2011, 11:55 AM

I haven't noticed that, will have to look into it.

**Minstrel** · 17-05-2011, 12:13 PM

I saw naked ladies too- sorry!

**Roseolivia** · 17-05-2011, 01:19 PM

Have been looking but haven't seen anything yet, will keep going on to see then see what i can do. Typical though isn't it. I was so pleased with it as well.

**tammys-tots** · 17-05-2011, 01:39 PM

Hi,there isnt anything you can do about it thats why its free so they can make money from advertising. I think they should ban rude stuff its so annoying!
