[pipling]

Hi everyone

I would be really greatful if mums and dads can give me some feedback on the Piplings Playgroup advert in family classifieds.Lots of people have been keen for a new creche facility but I have lots of spaces available for the open mornings this week.Is it too near Christmas?!!

Thanks...would really appreciate some comments.

Hi. I saw your initial post and thought it seemed a great idea, but didn't notice the follow up re: open mornings. My son is too young, but I'm sure there would be lots of people interested. Maybe you just need another post re: the open mornings and keep bumping to make sure people can see it?

Thanks alieh!!

It caught my eye, and I'm signed up to come along! Maybe a bit close to Christmas, but I'm sure things will pick up in the New Year once people are back into their usual routines and out of the silly season. Looking forward to our visit on Thursday :)

I thought it was a great idea, but a little bit too expensive for our budget.

I agree Lorraine, that's my one reservation - twice the price of the existing creche I use (which is also for two hours).

It's a brilliant idea, but for just a couple of hours, I'd rather drop my daughter off to a friend's house so I can get some shopping done, then look after their child in return for another couple of hours at a later date. I wouldn't be able to justify this cost when our babysitter is ?5 an hour although I do prefer my daughter to be around other children as she's at an age where she really enjoys that. But I know it's hard to make schemes like this work financially as there's often lots of costs and paperwork to be done to get it up and running.

Thanks for the feedback Pickle and lorraineliyanage.

Hopefully people will like the idea of the first session free as it gives them a chance to try it! I am planning to do more promotional offers to start aswell like a buy 2 get one free type of thing!!A more affordable way to find out if it's something you want to spend ?20 on.What do you think?

[Pickle]

Offers like that would be a great idea, anything to make it slightly more affordable and in line with costs of similar groups or babysitters.

I pay ?20 doe 2h creche for my twins so the higher cost would make it prohibitive for two...
