Another Unregistered Childminder

[Carpet Monkeys]

Found this on my local Gumtree!! Unbelievable!

unqualified childminder. But i am a mum to 2 children 2 & 5.I have a clean crb.I am home all day with my little girl and am able to look after 2 more children with her.As i am not qualified my hourly rate will not be so much and you can cut out some exspensive nursery time.So im realy just seeing if like me there there are some mums or dads out there that want to go back to work but cant afford the exspensive fees or want to save them selfs some money.I have a large clean house with a good size enclosed garden with sandpit,slide, swing, trampoline and pool.Indoors i we have lots of toys all the cartoons theres cooking and messyplay in the dinningroom.trips to the park and i can even take them to a nursery or nans if its no to far away.So im not exspecting you just to drop them off one morning maybe we can meet up a couple of times first make sure everyone is happy.I know its a big thing putting your trust in some one when it comes to your child but its also a big deal not to leave them to go to work and have to give over half your wages for childcare.I got the idea from my freind whos child i looked after for a while and it was fun but it also gave my little girl someone to play with to.So there you have it im just a parent just like you.

I'd be tempted to message her, get her name and address by pretending I'm interested and then I'd pass all details on to Ofsted or whoever.

Oh gosh... pls report this one!

.. even the spelling is so bad, I can't understand half of the 'ad'!!
Already not very trustworthy.. hmmm.

I'm surprised no-one is monitoring gumtree from ads like these... you should only be able to add an advert if you had a reg number or something...

outragious The nerve of some people

[ChocolateChip]

Hmmm, do you think she's ra'd her sandpit, slide, swing, trampoline and pool?
I think not

[AnnieM]

That is dreadful (and I don't just mean her spelling). She knows it is wrong, but still going ahead with it. Can't understand some people

[Monkey26]

Annoying, shocking and dreadful... but at least she is being honest about not being registered, some just crack on and wait to be found out! She should be reported...

[Blue Boy]

Heaven forbid that something happens to a child It will then appear in the papers with yet another report about a child harmed whilst with a childminder I think you do need to report it.

[Chatterbox Childcare]

This one needs following up. What if it is indeed a paedophile and not a lady just looking for children

Please report it ASAP

[Stillgoingstrong]

After reading the ad I don't really think that anyone is going to be stupid enough to leave their child with what is obviously a semi-literate idiot are they? Wish I DID get paid half the wages of some of my parents, as this goon seems to think thats what we get . I can't just do nothing so I have sent a message to Gumtree asking them to monitor their ads at least for childcare a bit better, and on their heads be it if we see on the news about some poor child that has come to harm in the care of an "unregistered"
childminder that was found via their site.

Exactly! Gives me chills just thinking about it!

[barbarella68]

Whilst I totally agree she should be registered the fact she can't spell surely doesn't make her untrustworthy,because if it did some of the people on here would be untrustworthy because of their spelling.
Also being unregistered does not automatically make you a abuser look at the cases recently about Childminders and Nursery employers being jailed for being abusers and they are registered. Some people look after their friends or families children for no money and are not registered that does not make them an abuser or untrustworthy to look after children.
Whilst I totally agree they should be registered (I am), some people do not know that it is illegal not to be registered I didn't before I became a Childminder and new parents probably wouldn't either not mixing in parent circles.
I probably will get lynched for my view but I think nowadays people are judged too quickly before knowing all the facts. Just e-mail her and let her know she is wrong to do this and if she chooses not to listen then take action.

[miffy]

I think this should be reported too!

This person knows that she should be registered but seems to think she's doing people a favour by charging them less because she's not.

[VINASOL]

I don't understand these people; she obviously knows that she's doing wrong because she says 'unregistered childminder'.

I hope that someone does report her.

As someone said, because someone is not good at grammar/spelling doesn't make them dangerous or whatever; trust me it takes all sorts!

Unbelievable!

I think not

no point doing any RA she won't be insured whether she has or hasn't!
