How do I start?

I have worked in childcare for many years (well only 9) and I have ideas which I think would change the way childcare is done in the UK.  In my efforts to run childcare for the whole of East Anglia I have tried to?

• Set up in a school (they didn't want anything 'that' big)
• Covert a barn (not enough money)
• Buy a chapel (not enough outside space)
• Rent a chapel (the board decided to sell it)
• Set up in a council house on an estate needing childcare (the council laughed)
• Set up in a school again (actually they didn't want me) 

So when the council advertised a 'tender' to open a preschool I jumped at the chance.

But where do I start?  I have been writing business plans and cashflow forecasts for days; I know what I think I want but is it what other parents want?

The things that are important to me are:

• Open spaces & outdoor play
• Low employee turnover and a team with a mix of mature and younger
• Learning though play with individual planning, safe risk taking and little or no forward planning.
