Thanks, I'm so wollowing in my own self pity today but as I said to MegsD, I think I'm justified today!! BTW, the BBC were very interested in what's happened today and might want to do a seperate story about OFSTED vitimising me!!!

sky channel 974 is bbc london

PS with the radio interview you can have some bullet points written down so that if you don't get asked the right questions (the interviewer probably won't be across everything, they do loads of interviews about everything under the sun) then you can try get your points across anyway.

Well done Smee! You are our hero!

Looney, no helpful words I'm afraid, only that you are only dealt this hand because you are strong enough to get through it. Lots of love and hugs to you both. x (That's twice I've been religious and philosophical to you, that's so not me!)

Megsdaughter · 01/11/2007 13:20

Well done have got the link so will watch it later, although should be able to get it through sky shoul;dnt we

Katisha · 01/11/2007 13:19

I would love you to be able to get across the point that childminders are being treated as if they are nurseries, but in fact they are a completely different sort of childcare and should be allowed to remain so!
ALl this over-regulation will just end up with less choice for parents...
Good luck !

bloodsuckingLOONEY · 01/11/2007 13:13

Great stuff smee and sorry I haven't come on before - having a terrible day (you may have seen oftsed complaint thread)

It's NOT South East - it's London

MaureenMLove · 01/11/2007 10:16

MI, you just need to go to the BBC home page and look for the BBC South East Local news link. Not sure when its airing yet, but Smee will let us know in the morning.

MissInvisible · 01/11/2007 10:12
