The Nick Clegg one yesterday.....was that it? It was just about the two year old funding? Nothing about deregulation or anything like that?
I'm still up in the air then! I only care for schoolies, so the two year old funding thing doesn't apply to me (unless they can some how 'force' me to take one in the same way grandparents can only register if they look after other children alongside their grandchildren).:panic:
I do think we are seeing the bigger picture now though. It looks like they want to increase the ratio for under 5s so that all these funded two year olds have some where to go!
And because they are funded, it would be so much easier for the government to give an agency the funding and let them to the hard work of paying it to the childminders, rather than dealing with each individual childminder them selves.
