I've been registered 6 months now and still only got the 1 year old if signed up with on day 1!
I did have a baby but he only lasted until the settling in period as dad lost his job.

I search childcare.co.uk and message parents in the area I've just looked and this month alone I've messaged 17 parents and only had 1 reply! ! How frustrating!
I've got a business page on f a c e book, which i share updates of activities and outings etc (no photos of children just activities /room/ outings etc) I share this on local selling pages regularly at different times of the day to catch different people etc.
I'm in touch with local childminders which have passed my number on but I don't get a call! (2 this month)
I have a car sign advertising my childminding business and also a t shirt printed which i wear whenever I go out etc,
I tell everyone that I'm a childminder, I've got business cards printed and advertising in local shops, post office, doctors, schools etc

I really am so disheartenend and fed up, any advice would be great, thanks
