Hi

I know what you mean, the children I have have been word of mouth recommendation....

The CIS rings me to and says they are passing my info and then you hear nothing.

Have you tried putting posters up in the local playgroups/schools, some childrens centers and nurseries let you that to, put little ads in local newsagents, one in the back of your car, keep a little stash (of ads or business cards) in your purse and ask in the supermarkets for them to put one in the staff room - applies to a lot of big companies. Try advertising outside of your area as well. Volunteering for a day or so at local playgroups gets you known too. Tell everyone that you are childminding.

It is slow to get going I know that, I'm trying to hold out for a full timer so it makes it all financially viable.

Good luck
