It sounds like Jeremy Vine will be discussing the cost of childcare in a moment on radio 2

Vilify the minder time then eh!

OMG!!! Anyone else want to be a nanny in London????
£2.5k a month!!!! Yeah, if you take the extreme on these shows, then it does make the cost of chidlcare sound ridiculosly expensive!! I'd love to earn that much for looking after 2 children....

Listening now, more to come.
I find Elizabeth Truss's comment that nurseries could "train" us offensive and shows she is ignorant and misinformed about childminders.

Argh! I know shouting at the radio doesn't really help but it makes me feel better!!!!
i'm getting SO CROSS!
Am listening as my mindie is asleep, wonder if they will let a childminder speak.
Me too!! Get a childminder on!!!

It may not be cost effective for many parents to send their children into childcare, it will certainly not be cost effective for us to lower our fees, what should this be telling the government? They are barking up the wrong tree!

Just sent a very angry e-mail to him!!!
Prob doesn't even make much sense as I'm writing all angry!!!!
I was shouting at the radio when one of my mothers arrived, she asked what the problem was and I told her. She said, you're the best value we've ever had, don't listen to what others say.

I can believe that some nannies are paid that much but they obviously didn't look that far. I have often cared for two children and am about to again in the autumn when mindees little sister joins us. The last family mum and dad were in the Police and I had the children 50 hours a week and I charge £4.50ph then and they were able to afford it.
I am amazed that a Dad Earning over £40,000pa and a mum obviously earning enough to pay all the bills if Dad isn't working at present can't go back to work.
It is a shame that they have only had on a girl who looked into becoming a childminder and didn't because she couldn't earn enough.
i've just been tracing links from jeremy vine and have emailed yet more comments to the BBC.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18141076
i have sent several emails and texts to jeremy vine show. i tried phoning but couldn't get through.
Ive emailed in and to the BBC aswell. It annoys me that even though were qualified and have similar policies, inspections etc, we are still not equal to a private nursery when we should be!! Childminders should be recognised as professional child carers aswell. I dont like the idea of being trained and inspected by a nursery!!!
Get a childminder on there I say!!!
