On 29/11 and 30/11, on another thread, you questioned another member's presence on the forum. Your query appeared here shortly afterwards.

It's my understanding that the blue forum works along the same lines as the pink one, except it isn't owned by an egomaniac owner removing accounts for minor perceived transgressions.

There are lots of closed forums for childminders. Some are on facebook and I believe the Yahoo groups are still going.

yes I did and found that the other site is open to c/ms as well as others
I communicate with that member on both sites
There was no other hidden agenda behind
My question was to find out which site members found more useful and why as there are 3...I also found your early answers very good

'What childminders haven't got at the moment is any organisation which represents their interests alone, or provides an open forum which is not controlled for commercial gain.'

Just to update you... www.icm-se.org.uk/ is a social enterprise SOLELY for childminders... and independent childminders at that.
