I really hope we are not a dying breed.

They were moving as a group and couldn't all stop to watch a snail for as long as we did, or run up and down a little hill as many times as each child wanted and then go home to a lunch which has been prepared with the individual's preferences in mind. I wonder if the new development matters will help to lure/keep more childminders - with the emphasis moving away from paperwork.
