I have had my say... here are my comments.

I hope everyone who reads this thread takes a moment to sign the petition

Childminders reject agencies - we do not want agencies - we do not want a 2 tier system - we do not want confused parents - we do not want a fees war - we do not want to be unsustainable - we do not want to be managed by local nurseries who may not have our best interests at heart!

Tell your childminding friends - you do not want agencies controlling your business or charging you a premium for training and support!

Tell all your parents about the risk of childcare costs spiralling once agencies start taking their cut of their fees!

Fight for your independence!

Sarah's Blog: Childminders reject agencies!

We all need to tell at least one person about the dangers to children's health and safety if childminders are no longer within Ofsted's remit - and ask them to sign this petition!
