My childminder left my daughter all day with her assistant

[Glamourgal1989]

And I have just heard about it ! I’m absolutely furious. Her husband got really sick so she needed to go with him to hospital, I could have accepted the first time it happened but it happened more than once and she left the children with the assistants for much more than 2 hours. I only know about it because a friend mention it in passing and I put 2 and 2 together.

I mentioned it to the childminder and she admitted it but also got very defensive when I told her I was unhappy and that I should have been told. I never would have left her in the care of the assistant. I want to take my daughter from her care and complain to Ofsted. Would you do the same ?

You should have been notified by your childminder that your child would be left in the care of her assistant, and that you needed to collect your child before the legally allowed two hours expired, that the assistant would legally be allowed to have them.
what is wrong with people on this thread.
it is in the eyfs and should be followed!

So @Glamourgal1989 what have you decided to do

report cm

had notice in to her

do nothing and stay there

I gave immediate notice

thanks for updating

I do want to add childminders do need some qualification but assistants don't. I would just speak to the cm about your concerns and find out what actually happened. They should have really told you beforehand though I understand it was an emergency

Cm don't need qualifications at all. They need to know a bit about the eyfs but no formal qualifications necessary

Sorry I meant they need training before becoming a registered cm. But not a specified qualification
