[ROSEgarden]

Hi anyone who is also sad like me!

been on EYFS info meeting today, everyone was scared about paperwork etc..dont see the prob?, its just another course, we are all already doing it all, just need to tweak it a little!
Lots of people winging about the paperwork, well yes there is lots, but not with this course so shut up and give my ears a break!

anyway, i start at end of month and the best aprt yet, just for doing it(and its a funded course) i also get £200!!!!! to buy 'supplies' with, has to be for cming, but can be anything like new pcarpet for playroom etc!(mine will be double buggy, art stuff and garden toys!)..so very pleased about it, ate some lovely danish pastries and drank posh tea

i did mine, but a bit as i cant take in big words at minute(am trying to draw up new c.v for dp, its taking all my brain power!)..i basically said anything that will mean an increase of £100's of pounds to childminders is neither fair nor reasonable as we are already the lowest most poorly paid working people!??

Done but waiting for email confirmation

That is pretty much what I wrote Rose - and that it would put many childminders out of business and leave a lot of parents with childcare issues!

ive just rang to change location of my EYFS course and asked about the fees, child care head told me there would be a fee but the £103-£200 was not what it would be and that had been greatly egsagerated, she is meeting with ofsted next week and will contact me once she knows what is happening??

Was the £103 was in the consultation paper And I think the £200 came from people adding fees from the 2 registers together?
