Hi
I have just had my application for capital funding turned down.
I joined forces with another childminder and we both submitted a joint application to get some new outdoor equipment and I need access from my playroom door to help with free flow to the garden.
After a weeks wait we had a letter this morning telling us there was a large number of applications and our criteria doesnt benefit enough children or other childminders...:angry: ggrrrrrr
I am a lead childminder, i have dropins at my house and arrange other places for drop ins and stated this, i share my resources with anyone who wants them, but apparently its not enough.
I am so angry.......my eyso is not happy and my local cc manager isnt very happy either as she knows I play a part in the community. So maybe we can come up with something.
I feel like going to the press, ncma, mp's about this. County told me pre-schools and nursey's have more children, so it makes sense for them to have the money, childminders have a small amount of children so not enough children to benefit from the equipment......surely thats discrimination against all our mindees.
Sorry about the rant. Has anyone come across this before, can I appeal?
