these people helped me find a childminder for erin aaaages ago

I have to say, it is quite repetitive.......but because it is so repetitive, I am getting the hang of what it's all about. I then have to do my presentation on developing this 'duty' to provide information.

I guess it is about the department gathering all the information from childminders, schools, nurseries etc and then ensuring they push it out to all parents so every mum and dad know what choices are out there, whatever the childcare needs of their child are.

I shouldn't be saying this, but I'm quite liking the work it covers.....it gives me that spark of excitement about learning a new field of work, and it is the first time I have thought - I would leave where I am for this job.

aha - yep - that's exactly the kind of thing Maz

The job is managing this service really, making sure the information is available and ensuring everyone knows what choices are available.

Read that last year, it's interesting. So you're developing new services or maintaining current ones?
