    It is truly awful. Begging people to choose a higher monthly plan. The contact us page takes you to a map of the USA! Lettering which overlaps. What's all that about the whale and the boat?

    Wow!!
    That is terrible...
    Simply from the overall unprofessional look of the site, through to the disjointed links, maps detailing etc...would convince me to stay independent!
    And begging for you to subscribe?! No thank you...
    I am in disbelief that this has gone live

    Somebody somewhere will be in deep doo doo right now as they've published it part way into the building of the site. Surely an accident BUT if they can't even manage to organise a simple website without incident how the hell are they expecting to convince cm's to join! The words p**s up and brewery spring to mind!

    i like the opening phrase ' we are delighted to announce we has been'

    if they cant get their own grammer right what are they planning to do to help us with our paperwork?

    Brilliant - that's given me a real laugh

    I'm guessing it is nowhere near finished & should never have been published (or whatever you do with a website).

    We need more like that. What parent in their right mind would sign up with something so unprofessional. They're going to do themselves out of business without us having to lift a finger in opposition

    It isn't coming up for me- maybe they have taken it off already?

    I googled because the link above would not work, it is just coming up as an 'untitled document' and I found this:

    http://www.foundationyears.org.uk/wp...irst-years.pdf

    and this:

    Case study: First Years Childcare | Foundation Years

    and this where they are named in the list of childminder agency trials

    Childminder agency pilots named | Nursery World

    I think they are an American Company but they are listed as one of the trail companies.
