I've been there myself with 2 ep's, so I know how you're feeling. There's no point saying it'll all be fine, because I'm not god and I don't know, but I do hope that every thing is fine for you. And whats this sh*t about DH, will he really get nothing? (I'm maudlin' tonight, don't know why, but I'm feeling deep! ykwim!)

Oh dear! Tough!

The NCMA lot can think what they like... they haven't done anything about the way Ofsted does CM inspections, have they? NCMA really should back what their members feel, not back the government line. They are after all a Member Organisation - perhaps they need to ask members for their views, VOTE on the issue and then campaign to have the inspection system changed, so that childminders are inspected as childminders - not as nurseries.
Not being an NCMA member (I was once, many years back) I don't know if they have recently surveyed membership to find out the general feeling regarding the way inspections are done... have they done they? Do they know how some childminders feel about the way Ofsted are now inspecting childminders?

It has aired - 6.57am. Quite short, but it was in the 4-min local news bulletin, so expect 6.30pm local news may have longer segment.

Well done smeeinit... very brave of you to do an interview.

MaureenMLove · 02/11/2007 07:10

I don't believe it! I was just upstair giving dd another kick for not getting up and I missed it! Will check online now!

smeeinit · 02/11/2007 08:40

just caught a brief clip of it on the news.........highly embarrasing!
i was amazed last night actually at how many of my fellow cms air their feeling re the EYFS to me,particually yesterday, but when it came to speaking up at the meeting last night i seemed to be alone in my thinking maybe more of us need to speak up nationally to get the point across.
