Childminder query

[Jessie179]

Hi All

I am a Fairly Newly Registered Childminder in an area where there is a huge demand for childcare.

Unfortunately I have struggled for the last 6 months to find rented accomodation that has bigger living room at least or ideally an extra reception room. My 3 bed house has very small living area and on top of it access to my house with a buggy is very difficult. I am therefore seriously considering moving. I am interested to know which areas in Oxfordshire has a big demand for childcare, as hubby still works in Oxfordshire and therefore we dont want his commute be too long but we can stretch as long as we can.

Therefore please any opinions as I am totally at my wits ends now, I need to move asap.

Thanks in advance

This is an almost impossible question to answer really.

I'm in North Oxfordshire and I know many childminders locally who are unsuccessfully trying to get work, and they would probably say that there is no work out there.

However, I have a pretty full quota of children, and already have children lined up to start over the next few months. As far as I am concerned, the work is there but it is only through my existing parents, friends or people I meet when out and about that I have managed to get work.
