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

Good luck with next interview

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 !

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

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!)

Katisha · 01/11/2007 13:23

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.

sky channel 974 is bbc london

bloodsuckingLOONEY · 01/11/2007 13:24

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!!!

Katisha · 01/11/2007 13:25

I was just thinking Looney how it was actually making for a much more sensational story possibly!

bloodsuckingLOONEY · 01/11/2007 13:28

I know but I'm worried as heard stories they can make life hell for people - worry about not getting future variations etc! Oh well, hopefully if BBC get involved and we threaten legal action for vitimisation, they'll have to be very careful NOT to be like that with me!! I only wanted to stand up for us all and now this!!! (sorry, it's just everything's happened at once this week!)

smeeinit · 01/11/2007 14:19

bloodsuckingLOONEY · 01/11/2007 14:23

No, it's coz I set Facebook group up and had a go about their AWFUL thing on their group. Honestly, don't panic. AND.....I think they will have to be very careful after I've finished with them!!
