As you probably know Ruth that in Darlington there has been a scheme put in place for each area of the town (and surrounding) - each area has its own vacancy co-ordinator who rings each person in his/her area to collect up to date vacancy info once a month. This info is then relayed back to CIS, giving a more accurate picture of vacancies available and CIS can actually give parents a more specified list of childminders to contact.
Best way to do this I think!
