Need to vent!
I spend ages everyday, making sure I pass lots of information onto my parents. This always includes pictures and details of the observations etc, only to find out they don't bother reading it, arrrggh. I am sure that this is common for parents not to do and many of you probably have a similar experience of it but its so disheartening.
Also, I am really shocked by the ignorance of other minders. I was having a conversation about places and what space we have and don't have. The person I was talking to has one spare EYFS space for one day a week yet is taking on a full time EYFS child. One of her own children is in part time education so she was under the impression she could fill that space, when I corrected her the response was I know its wrong but I am going to do anyway because others do. I know money is important but surely risking the care of other children just to bring in more cash is wrong. It's so annoying when you work hard and work to the rules and regulations when others just come along and exploit it.
Sorry needed to vent my frustration. C x
