To have been shocked at this childminder?

A childminder lives across the road from me. I've just seen her cross the road, pushing a pushchair, with a toddler holding on, right in front of car.
The car braked suddenly but no harm was done.
Except that a girl, aged about seven, was left on the other side of the road to her minder. The childminder kept walking away, seemingly oblivious to the girl left behind, and the car driver gestured for the girl to cross.
I watched, open mouthed, from my lounge window.

Please please report her.

What really got me was the nervous jumping up and down of the little girl on the pavement as the woman crossed.

She needs reporting and I would try and catch the parents too and tell them.

I agree with everyone else - please report x

Yes report her.

She didn't look to cross the road.

She wasn't watching her minddes close enough to know that one of them was not with her.

I would be horrified if it was my children she was looking after.

Who would I report her to?

Please report her!

Ofsted.

HappyMummyOfOne · 01/08/2013 13:03

Ofsted, they will trace her by the address and hopefully it will show on her record so that future parents can see past complaints.

I half expected people to say I was over reacting.
