Thank you Sarah for the post and really like the Independent Childminders Website! I am just wondering if the Family Information Service is being disbanded in September 2013 with the new bill? My LA are secretive and I think this is important to know as many Childminders advertise in this way and parents trust this form of advertising? Sorry trying to keep up with the whole 'More Great Childcare' fiasco although due Ofsted soon and my attention is elsewhere at times

Any info or advice is greatly received.

Many thanks in advance.

We have absolutely no idea whether FIS will be continuing or not.

However - if you think about it - all they do is advertise you to passing parents.

The childcare.co.uk site is totally free to list your details and they spend thousands of pounds every year on promotion - I think it's best to spread your advert about!

Writing your profile - Childcare.co.uk
