Our borough is divided up in to 5 areas.
Each of these areas has at least one Drop-in for Childminders. That is except ours!!!!
We did have one up til just before Easter, when a couple of people from the council came to see us personally to tell us that it was being closed from the next week. We could, however, attend another one which is in a small library, up a flight of stairs and totally unsuitable. This would be temporary and they were hoping for us to be able to go somewhere else from September.
We then found out that this drop in at the library wasn't actually a drop in, but a toy library so we shouldn't be staying for the whole session. We created and they allowed us to until we have now been sent an updated centre programme for our area.
There is now nothing on a Thursday and 2 dates only on a Tuesday that are workshops. No drop-ins at all and when my friend spoke to someone they have said they don't know if there is going to be one in September either.
Do you all have drop-ins run by your borough? We are so cross and feel let down by the powers that be. We are not allowed to go to drop-ins in the other areas of the borough, its all done on a postcode system.
