Probably get 3 come along together! That's what happens to me, nothing for ages then have 3 or more interviews in a week. Good luck.

I have spaces from August and was starting to worry about no one ringing. I haven't had a phonecall for about 8-9months but this week I've had 2 phonecalls (9m old and 18m old), then 1 exsisiting child now wants an extra day from Aug, 2 ex-mindees want after school care and a dad asked me on Monday if he could give my number to someone he knows with 2 school children.
So now I don't know what the heck i'm doing..

Hold in there, it will come

I find mind goes on fits and starts too. My current bug bear though is parents asking what availability I have but refusing to give me any info like heaven forbid what says they may need, what hours and what Start date Grr!!

Lol classic! I've not Had that one yet (I'm sure i will lol!)

[Jessymax]

ha ha I don't do school pick ups so luckily I don't have that but et plenty of parents who just don't bother to reply. The bad thing is financially I need to have 3 under 5 every day as cannot do school pick ups so lose out there. I wont be able to carry on much longer I would need to jack it in and get a employed job!! gutting now im actually starting to enjoy it weathers picking up etc but im just not making enough! x

Have you tried all the ideas on childcare.co.uk for marketing your business? Have a look in Childminder Guides down the left hand side, there's some very good ideas.
