    Default Questions and information for first enquiry

    I've just read Littlestars post about getting an enquiry and forgetting to ask names etc of kids (and I think another person wrote a similar post). Was wondering if we could come up with a list of questions to ask prospective parents on first enquiry, and the information you'd consider most relevant?

    eg I'd ask which days and hours they wanted, age and sex of the kids.... um.....

    And tell them I'm just wonderfull!!
