Can't get a test

My 14 month old daughter needs a Covid test as she has a temperature.
There are no appointments at the test centre near me (the nearest with appointments is 350 miles away). Does anyone know the best time to refresh the page when there are more tests available?
It also says that some test centres do not do tests on under 18s but doesn't say which ones!! Has anyone been to one that has not accepted a toddler? Thank you

Keep refreshing - yesterday my area populated tests at 10am I think each centre updates the database at dif times. Also try 119 in case they see them before online

I had this problem yesterday
I adjusted the date the symptoms started to a couple of days earlier and suddenly it brought up 2 nearby test centres, both with 70+ slots for the week.
Don’t know whether it was a coincidence but it may be worth a try.

Thank you both for your replies. I kept on refreshing and changed the date my daughter got her symptoms and it worked!
