probably will be removed as not "on topic" so posting for your benefit.

I replyed to this one saying that I was not working at the mo due to an accident 4 weeks ago and hurting my leg, & that no I dont get paid when I am not able to work due to illness blah blah blah,

It appears to have been removed.

I would like to know why? anybody know how to find out?
I Was'nt rude just stated the facts!!

**mandy moo** · 26-03-2009, 08:11 PM

I'm bidding my time, she will slip up sometime

You need to report to someone her leaving a child in a car is not good

Possibly have a word with a friendly PCSO so they are walking past the school at the right time

I must say that I gave up ***** along time ago, as did many other older members on here.
The amount of times I have seen upsetting threads on there, about Childminders, how much they charge and how they HATE us all. It made me both angry and paranoid thinking that a lot people must feel that way about us as childminders.

I got my first ever enquiry from *****!!

Cheeky haha

The difference is here we all respect each others views

We never delete a post either just because we dont like a reply

I've never been on the ***** forums before but after reading this I think it better stay that way, I would most likely blow a fuse!!!

**sue m** · 26-03-2009, 09:05 PM

I'd love to read that Lisa!!! I hope it all stops now - cos I'm going away in the morning and I don't want to miss anything! I'm coming up your way Lisa, as you will already have gathered

Thanks Sandra. For missing me already lol. I'm like a child, I don't want to go to bed cos when I get up, it'll be time to go!

She'd better not be nasty to me this weekend (but she will!!!) cos I'm in the mood now!

I'm looking forward to seeing my cousins anyway, I only see them now and again, can be years between meets. One is very much like me - or I'm like her cos she's older - and we have such a good laugh. I'm not working till Tuesday now either. x

**huggableshelly** · 26-03-2009, 10:39 PM

obviously we have no lives other than to childmind and we work 24 hours a day and should not be posting on the forum at anyimte whilst working !!! yeah so what are her children doing whilst she is posting? maybe cms; do not deserve a rest.

I said something about that to her, I asked if she had both eyes on her child 24/7 - can't remember what exactly I said now. I was going to say, if you do have your eye on them 24/7, you should be a Registered Childminder as you'd be great but I restrained myself from getting sarky!!

Has anyone employed a carer who is not a registered childminder?
What fees do you pay?
I have one, paying her L3.50 per hour, but is that a lot or too little?
What are your opinions, please? [smilie=017.gif][/QUOTE]

(My quick answer)
No, I never would as I (a) do things legally, and it is illegal to be a childminder and not be registered, (b) I wouldn't hire an unregistered lawyer to deal with a matter, never mind an unregistered carer for my child... the most important thing in my life...

ps: childminders are self employed.
