CM CLUB: The future of childminding - changes anticipated (don't worry it's for a course)

[KatyMac]

Hi Guys I need to do a PESTLE analysis on childminding - so I really need some help

How do you think events (& what events) in each of the below areas will change childminding

P = Political
E = Economic
S = Social
T = Technological
L = Legal
E = Environmental

Thanks

P - childcare funding for 2 year olds

E - parents redundancies

S - single parent families

T - I don't know! Virtual children?!

L - Childminders being sued for malpractice

E - children's stress about the environment

Not really awake yet, so I couldn't think of much!

P - funding (or the lack of). Eg funding of SureStart/Pre-School settings, but not childminding.

E - Cost of childcare, Parents out of work, Payment by vouchers.

T - Use of computers in the childminding setting. Internet sites such as Kneebouncers.com, Starfall.com, CBeebies.

L - Tighter rules with regard to registration requirements and changes to Safeguarding Children. For example the introduction of the ISA and ID Card's.

E - Nappy disposal problems.

These are great
I had picked up on nappies redundancy cost of care but the others are great
