eyfs was starting to make sense but because i haven't looked at it in weks being busy with other job, visit from france and catching up on cleaning while my son masterised crawling, and my daughter decided on great arts and crafts activities...we built a great robot out of rubbish, planted our potatoes and mowed the grass........

lots of questions:

how do you decide your rate?

if i say "little froggies, french childminding services. do you understand that it's for french people only?? its the name i chose but hubby said that it meant for french kids only or would be confusing. he is right?

Congratulations on getting registered

When I hear French childminding services I would just think you are a French childminder and that's as far as it would go - just curious - unless I am totally confused - why is it only for French people?

**gegele** · 20-03-2009, 03:05 PM

well it's not.... that's my point LOL
hubby suggested that people would understand it as french exclusif, like a portuguese group or polish nursery...ect

don't know what to do now..!!i wanted to point the fact that i was french in my logo as i think it's the thing that make the difference.but i don't fancy sticking an eiffel tower behing my frog or put her a beret and onion necklace pmsl

I think a string of garlic round the frog's neck might look rather fetching!

Congratulations!

Ok... and top tip... give up sleep! It works!

I'm sorry!

So I was right you are a French childminder offering a childminding service (to everyone even if they are not French!)
It was reading your explanation that confused my little brain

Congratulations

I do think French Childminding Services could be interpreted as French speaking children only. If that's not the case you could advertise yourself as bilingual.

A big Well done from me too.

**estrelas** · 20-03-2009, 05:09 PM

congrats

i think its a great name

**misst104** · 20-03-2009, 06:18 PM

Well done for getting there. I think it may be confusing too but agree that advertising as bilingual would be good! Wish I could speak another language - you are very clever!
