    OMG that's a lot of money to lose. I hope you manage to fill those spaces. Try lots of advertising, no doubt you will anyway.

    Aswell as CIS I also advertise for free on Yell.com. I am very fortunate as I live in between 2 large housing estates and 6 schools. Get yourself some cards printed and leave them everywhere, Drs, dentists, supermarket, village notice board, school office, village magazine, post office, library, if you have links to playgroups ask to leave some there too and tumble tots, indoor play areas.

    Good luck, I hope something comes up for you.

    Oh no. What a nightmare. Hope you fill the spaces soon.

    I lost one lasy night too but fortunately only a before schooler so I can cope with the drop.

    Sorry to hear your news! I have had one of my parents ask if she can cut her hours this week so I will be down £60/week, but thats not as bad as you!

    Hope we both get some enqiries soon, its really quiet here at the moment, havent had an enquiry in months!!!!!!!!!!! I may have to have a re-think if things don't pick up in the new year as one of mine will be going to school in september, so I will be losing her as well!!!!
