Hi Everyone - I can't sleep coz I am sick to my stomach about this deregulation - its looking like a certainty

(( - has anyone still on the forum moved from childminding to opening a nursery? - I would like to chat about a few things if you don't mind - thanks!

How would you become a small nursery/ holiday club etc? Would you still be basically doing what you do now but just call yourself a holiday club etc?

It will be years before anything changes... and it will be change for the whole early years sector not just childminders...

Stick with it and see what happens first! We are in a much better position to get things how we want them working within the system
