    Default Finally have 3 children booked in starting next week :) work at last

    After all this waiting/advertising i am able to work.and have three children from the same family starting next week yipee. I am going to order new buisness cards and get a fleece made and wear it all the time to make sure i have plenty of advertising going on.

    for other people who want ideas on advertising after ther help i had on here :-

    I have pretty much advertised everywhere here goes

    *yell.com this is free
    *local shop windows/local paper/notice boards
    *car door sticker
    *t.shirt/fleece
    *word of mouth
    *childcare.co.uk
    *my own page on fb as this is viewed by everyone and you can choose what age groups /country etc can view it and its free

    i want to get my own website this year too

    *i.child this is 7.99 a month
    *and loads of gadgets on vista print which i still want to order once i start working i will try not to splash out too much on their lol!

    I am frozen with the heating on but still want snow had a little last night and supposed to be more today but later on so hopefully some sledging in line if we do

    Yay well done you :-) I had my first parent round last and unfortunately they didn't decide to go with me but only a week later 3 messages and another potential mindee coming this afternoon:-) all my enquiries have come through childcare.co.uk or advising in local fb mummy and babies boards.

    Good luck with the new start next week. X

    Can I ask how to get on the local to me mummy's and baby's board on Facebook, I have an account although nothing on there as I haven't a clue on how to do it! I can't seem to find it

    I was lucky I was already part of two as it babies and mums my little one has grown up with ( he's 17 months now) but it would be worth searching mums and babies then add the area you live in so mine is mums and babies dunstable try a few variations then you can link to your fb page, website or childcare.co.uk profile. I would ask admin if ok to post first I'm sure it wouldn't ever be a problem. Also selling pages are a good one lots of mummies on there. Hth. X

    Is the ****** advertising not free with NCMA? Have you got the gold version. Can't say I've ever got anything from that.
