What a joke, spend it all and give up minding! the reason why minders are leaving is in some cases because we are treated as "second class citizens" compared to nurseries :angry:

My DO is very passionate about this and is fighting our corner.
She said a day nursery got a rather substantial grant, only for the lady to sell up the next year- reeping the benefits of the new extension! :panic:
