Hi I just wondered if I could suggest that one of the forum experts starts a thread that updates on announcements and important news and consultations.
I have always prided myself on keeping up to date with stuff but recently I feel like I have missed lots of things and I am completely overwhelmed. Other local childminders are asking me whats going on and tbh I don't seem to know anymore!
I am really busy and seem to be losing the plot!
I read the news, read the forum, have ofsted updates, have updates from my development worker / support network and I just don't seem to be pulling out what is relevant because there is so much!
It would be great to have a one stop shop of what is directly relevant to childminders and it would be great if it could only be added to by forum administrators so it is not cluttered up with comments and questions.
So like just a sentence 'DfE announced today...' and a link to the relevant page. and a brief 'this is relevant to childminders because it discusses....'
or 'to find the current consultation click here..'
I realise this may take a bit of time for someone and that I seem incredibly lazy but There seems to be so much going on at the moment and so many announcements and I am getting lost as to what is actually happening and what is a proposal, what is being consulted on etc etc - it just seems endless!!
many thanks
