    Default When to contact prospective clients?

    I had a lovely first meeting with some potential clients last week. The Dad came over first as Mum had been called into a meeting. Then she came to talk to me the day after. She seemed very happy and the little girl had abit of a paddy when it was time to leave because she wanted to stay and play. Mum said that was a very good sign.

    She is still on maternity leave and I don't get registered until August so there is plenty of time for her to make the decision but I just wanted to know so I could hopefully arrange a time for her to come back and sign up.

    How long should I give her if she came over a week ago? Another week? xx

    I thought you couldn't get parents to sign contracts etc until you're registered?

    Sounds hopeful though

    I'd keep in touch with updates about how your registration is going - sending emails or little letters perhaps.

    As sprinkles says you can't do contracts etc until you are registered and insured.

    I hope it works out for you!
