    From what I can gather, it is a much more regimented set up, children strapped in to do activities, larger premises, with assistants, not what I would want from a home from home setting that's for sure

    I watch this this morning, and feel so cross! We are not all about money and profit! I love my job and will not be increasing my ratio, as I feel I couldn't provide the care and attention the mindees all receive now! Sorry rant over xx

    The day I start watching The Wright Stuff is the day I join an agency, vote Tory-UKIP-BNP Alliance, and nail my tongue to the ceiling, just for fun.
