thank you.

interesting reading. good to see someone HAS been doing some proper research. but they still mention that IF we increase ratios/numbers, then we could lower costs ... but then we would be doing even more work for the same reward.

Very interesting - thank you so much for sharing - all we need now is to have this featured on several T.V. programmes. :clapping:

The other thing that irks me about all this is that CMs will be expected to always provide lomg working days as standard. Where are our own families supposed to slot in?

There is another one on the bbc site stating the numbers of 3 year olds that are unable to get the 15 hours funded place from September yet again only mentions nursery places not a mention that it is possible to get the same funded place through a childminder!!!!
