My poor poor friend. She has received a complaint against her.
She was at a childrens centre and having a bad day, kids were crying, I think one was teething, and she was very stressed.
Turns out someone called up the local authority and complained and she is being called in.
She's beside herself.
Thinks she's going to be struck off, and imagining the worst.
She's so lovely, I know this, I have seen her with the kids regularly. She was having a bad day, and now she fears she will be struck off.
I can't give her advice, I've never come across anyone who has received a complaint. What should I tell her? She takes her minding very seriously, so she's in a right state. Poor girl.
On a similar note, another local minder has received a complaint, turns out one of her charges was crying at home for some time (have no idea why), and a neighbour complained. What happens then?
This has made me feel so paranoid that someone can complain for any old reason, whether it's right or wrong.
Imagine if you have a teething baby who is having a difficult time, and someone sees fit to complain. What on earth do you do.
