Mouse that is an excellent list thank you very much for compiling it xx
It backs up what I am being told privately and what members are saying in pms.
Mostly childminders who do not want to be regulated by Ofsted are focussing on the issues you have raised surrounding quality of care -
- No more complying with the EYFS;
- No need to write P & Ps and other documents for parents or involve parents in children's learning (which doesn't interest them anyway);
- No more planning, observations and learning journeys;
- No need for development checks and early intervention;
- No working to liaise with other settings;
- Not having to do first aid - one childminder suggested because she hates the blood bits...
- Not having to register to take photos (not having to take photos even!) etc etc etc...
And the fact that they really do not care if all this is lost because they will potentially be earning more money.
And following what it says in the Truss report about how things are run in Canada they might be able to have 5 children without being registered anyway...
So if they are deregistered because they refuse to toe the line with the agency they will just offer parents the option of unregistered care which most will take if it saves them money.
Ho hum... thanks again guys
