Training frustration. Use it or lose it!
Despite being very short of funds our LA is doing all it can to support childminders. They have arranged some very good training sessions, all put on in the evenings and only childminders can attend. And they're all free. We even have drinks & biscuits provided!
I've had a letter through today to say that several of the courses have been cancelled due to lack of interest. It is so frustrating. There are over 300 cms in our LA and they need a minimum of 12 people to attend each course. It's so disappointing that they can't even get that many going.
You've got to wonder if they'll bother for much longer. It must be a kick in the teeth for them to go to all this trouble only for people to show so little interest. And then how many childminders will be complaining that they never do anything for us?
So if you are offered training in your area, grab it while you can :thumbsup:
