    Thanks for truss' email ive just emailed her aswell. As childminders we need to get our voice heard!! I wrote;

    Hi the reason most parents choose childminders is because we can offer their children one to one care and take them out and about unlike alot of nurseries, changing the ratio would not only upset the childminders and children but the parents as well!!
    As for nurseries inspecting childminders I think that is ridiculous as we have the same qualifications!! Childminders shouldn't all be tarred with the same brush, some of us are willing to learn more and extend our training. I think childminders are on the same par as nurseries and should be treated with equal concern and recognised as the professionals that they are!
