I am racking my brains trying to think of a name for my childminding business so I can build a website. So far have got chatterbox childminding services. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm in the process of registering and plan to just use my own name. Lots of people at school and toddler groups know me, so I thought they'd find me more easily if I just used my name..... If you want a different one though I think Chatterbox is fine, as long as the web address is available etc.

Include your location in the name for improved search engine ranking.
Eg: WimbledonChildminder.co.uk

Google for childminders in your area. Try using search phrase that parents would be likely to use. Would they be looking specifically for a childminder, or would they perhaps use the keyword childcare? Hard to know.

I use my own name. I find some of the names used by some childminders a bit 'twee' :)

I live in one of those awkward places where there are 3 or 4 places around the country with the same place name. Would I be better of using the first part of my postcode in the address along with my real name?

I spent ages trying to choose a name which was sounded like I was caring towards babies, but was not too babyish for school children and went for something dull, boring and practical in the end.
