You say we should be knocking on EY doors.... What do I just phone them up one day and shout I've had enough of being underpaid? At the moment because I'm claiming funding they are propably assuming I'm happy and will continue. a single voice on a phone threatening to leave the funding isn't going to change their minds. In the County I live within cm rates vary over £1.50 an hour. I know cm's within my catchment are who are 'making' money at the moment. Yet , just up the road', I'm loosing money. I doubt the LA are going to raise it so one cm stays as it will cost them a lot of money overall. I don't want to make a noisy fuss, I will go silently, incase a year or two down the line I have to go back, with my tail between my legs, to claiming funding as the demand for childcare outside funding has dried up.
