Business Development - childminder achieves the right blend with new business venture

Karen Faux explains how Childminding Cafe is serving up sound business advice online.

A member of Amanda Beable's site recently said that it had 'saved her sanity' and positive feedback from a steadily growing membership highlights that its resources and support are hitting the spot.

Childminding Cafe provides downloadable templates for risk assessments and planning, for example, a coaching Q&A board, newsletters, blogs and more. The aim is not just to take the headache out of paperwork but to provide a range of support on all aspects of day-to-day practice.
