CHILDMINDER FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO FIND WORK

11 replies

twickschildminder · 05/02/2008 11:40

Hello, i am a recently registered childminder but i cannot seem to get any work. When i started everyone told me that there was so much work out there but i have had no enquiries at all.
Can anyone give me any ideas about how to get clients. I have done a letter drop, gone to play groups but still no phone calls.
PLS HELP otherwise i will have to give it up soon.

Oh bless you, it takes a while for the word to get out but once it does the phone won't stop.

I assume you are on the childcare link site? Get on that one ASAP, in fact ALL of my mindees have come from there.

Local ad in newspaper? And phone your local schools/preschools!
