Reply to a new enquiry or an urgent cover request

The problem

Parents contact several childminders at once, and an urgent request deserves a fast, clear answer, even if the answer is no. Replies you've prepared, saying what you offer, what you need to know and what happens next, mean you reply the same evening.

What AI does

AI drafts a friendly reply to new enquiries and one for urgent cover requests, from what you can offer and the questions you need answered. Neither promises a place: you check ratios and meet the family first (England).

Time

The steps, in short

1. Note what you can offer and the questions you always need answered.
2. Have AI draft the two replies.
3. Keep them as templates and tailor each reply.
4. Promise nothing until you have met the family, checked ratios and done the paperwork.
