Hi Kayleigh

Welcome to MN

As you are starting out, you could print some posters, advertising your business, put them in your local schools/playgroups/community centre/health centre.

Get yourself on the childminders list run by your local authority, so that if anyone contacts them looking for a CM your name will be there.

Do you have a Link Childminder, who mentors new Cms in your area? Your child development officer will also be able to give you tips.

It's hard to begin with but gradually you should be able to fill your places.

Oh, and the MN CM Staff room is open daily, please pop in

welcome Kayleigh
have you any children of your own
getting yourself out there to toddler groups and schools helps thats where all my business comes from
good luck and bob in anytime
