Area's short of Childminders

[MUMMYandMIA]

Hi,
We are looking to relocate from Surrey and like the idea of a slower lifestyle in the Cornwall, Devon or Dorset locations. Does anyone have knowledge of any villages within those area's that are desperate for Ofsted registered Childminders. Obviously not knowing the area's at all I dont want to move to a place already in undated with Childminders. Also any ideas on average prices charged in those area's ?
Any help and advice will be gratefully received.
Thanks
Emma

I live in North Dorset (Actually Blandford) we have a large Army Camp on our Doorstep, that have a lage proportion of female soldiers.

In 10 years I have only had one space, for 4 weeks, others spaces have gone the minute I advertise (in fact often before)I now live in the town and the girls down here are full as well.

We only have two Nurseries in the town, and two further afield, but they can only take 15 babies between them, so CM's are like golddust.
