Annoyed

**Kes** · 01-07-2009, 06:44 PM

Another person posting about unregistered childcare and I know her. Only thing is I don't like confrontation but don't know if I can just ignore this.
Have reported it but don't know if ***** will do anything about it.

Really? Gosh, she's got some nerve then!

How about emailing the link to Ofsted? Or complaining to *****?

Have reported it to *****, not sure if they will do anything. This is the post:

I worked for the last two years as a nanny in Canada to two girls aged 4 and 2 and also worked PT in daycare ,I am fully first aid qualified and security checked

I am availiable to baby sit anytime anyday In my own home ,I dont drive at the minute ( in process of learning) but have a 7 seater and a driver ( my hubby) at evenings and weekends

we enjoy picnics in the park ,craft messy play and go to toddler groups on monday and wednesdays ( within walking distance )

please email me if you are intrested and for more info ,
I am a LOT cheaper than a childminder ,but obviously i dont hold insurance and cannot accept childcare vouchers etc

Is it the one on the Warwickshire board? I have reported that one anyway, advertising something illegal is just wrong.

**Gizmo** · 01-07-2009, 06:57 PM

That is shocking so unfair if they can get away with this , but do parents not care about their kids tho sending them to just anyone makes my blood boil

**georgie456** · 01-07-2009, 07:05 PM

I'm sure ***** will take it seriously. It makes me SO mad!!!

**katickles** · 01-07-2009, 08:22 PM

I think that ofsted would be interested in that

**Kes** · 02-07-2009, 08:48 AM

Had an email from ***** they have removed the post and sent an e mail to her asking her to explain herself.

I've just seen one too - it says:

I have been around children all my life. I have been on a first aid course. I would be available to look after your child from monday-sunday anytimes. It would be in my own home which has a large toy room and garden also we live opposite a park. If you have any questions then please call

This isn't allowed either is it?

its this heat, im going INSANE

**Rach30** · 02-07-2009, 10:44 AM

Its a flaming cheek isn't it. Thing is ppl may llok at that and not even realsie that 'proper' childminders like us exist , they may not realise that those ppl are illigal IYSWIM. It could be any ond pervert advertising on there

**wendywu** · 02-07-2009, 11:24 AM

Cant you forward the whole advert to Ofsted via an email.

**yummymummy** · 02-07-2009, 04:31 PM

I agree our local board at ***** is full of this and very young girls offering to babysit. I have questioned ***** childcare boards on here before but everyone said they thought they were good, I never advertise on them as it seems as if the same people advertise again and again and have answered 2 adverts and they were both complete timewasters wanting top quality childcare at the price only an unregistered person would be prepared to charge!
I know others may disagree but I preferred it in the "good old bad old days" when the only way to contact registered childminders was through FIS, you really didn't get any of this then.
