Now she starting school i feel bit more laid back but how do i bring it into a relationship bout having children or is it better to leave the subject as everyone nos your kids are a big thing but i dont no if it will scare them away. people say let it find you but that can be hard if your not out at least trying.

You post it in your profile that you have a child. You might mention the custody arrangements.
No need to state the obvious like, "My daughter comes first." That's a given.

Some people will understand/accommodate your situation. Others will pass you by because of it.

May I suggest that you go to the profile review section.

But as you have asked more than just for a profile review I will start at the beginning.

Are you ready to date?
Have you got yourself sorted?
What about going out? Baby sitters? Having a lady come and stay overnight?

Remove the photo of your daughter and all reference to her other than Yes have children. You can talk about the details once you start conversation with a woman you like. Up to you how much detail you wish to put in. I would not have too much.

Remove photos of yourself with other people.

Have photos with you smiling

Your profile is advertising / marketing. Make yourself interesting and highlight the things that are wonderful about you.

I have no children and have found dating men with young children difficult as they don't have time to do things together. Certainly doing anything impromtu is impossible. Perhaps ask your question in the single parents section on here.

Good luck.

I really want to see a profile where it states my child comes third, I think that would be awesome.

There's a lot of debate over this subject.
It seems the majority of women think that it's manipulative and/or food for pervs to have your kids' pics up.
Personally, I find it endearing and obviously a part of your life of which you're proud.
But I don't see that it would detract from your profile much if you removed it, since the profile is about you, not your daughter.

I didn't date men who had under-age kids. My personal philosophy is to focus on your kids (not your love life) until they're in college.

Good luck.
