Guest Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 do you really want this? http://www.nurseryworld.co.uk/news/1169665/Why-introducing-childminder-agencies/?DCMP=ILC-SEARCH I don't !!! I am capable of running my own business. I want control of who I have in my setting - we ALL know that we need to consider the dynamics of all the children and our families, we need to click with clients. I can set and collect my own fees and so on. I am SELF EMPLOYED and quite happy to be so. I resent the implication that you will not be quality if not in the agency. Where will you access training, how much will it cost you to BE in the agency or to be independtly inspected? Do you want to be collectively graded or recognised for your own merits and not have someone else graded with your hard work - lots of questions What will a school know about running a childminder agency? http://pennysplacechildminding.com/2013/02/06/tuesdat-5th-february-a-few-minutes-of-time-please-mr-cameron/ start telling your MP they have u-turned on GSCE's - lets save childminding - we are now an endangered profession as we know it right now. Can you afford NOT to stand up and be counted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
