Hypocrites.....?
I have just had a phone call from a friend and I am a bit annoyed because we got into a heated discussion regarding cm and our own children. Basically she thinks I'm over the top because my son has a learning diary and a peg with his photo and name. Okay I agree at 9 months Ryan really doesn't care but I don't see why he should be singled out because he is 'the childminders son'. Infact I would go as far as saying its actually a form of discrimination. At 2 they will know the difference and will feel left out when the other children have their pegs and can look at their learning diaries. I also feel it will encourage him to hang is peg up.
I think they should all be treated the same and Ofsted should expect us to have learning diaries for our own under 5 children after all the only difference really is that mummy is the 'teacher' and were not paid for them.
I may be over thinking this but it made me so angry! Grrr
But Ofsted preach about inclusion, to my understanding inclusive means all, everything or everyone. Them not caring about cm's children is hardly inclusive practice is it??.

You can’t have everything. Where would you put it?
