Obviously and thankfully very rare.

So awful, every parents worst nightmare

Those poor parents.

It’s so tough as many parents are forced into working and finding affordable childcare. Not in anyway shaming working parents - I just mean it’s difficult for them financially and there’s a lot of pressure, of course the blame completely lies with the bitch that murdered him.

It seems she was purely motivated by greed but I can’t understand why she was permitted to continue childminding after the assault?

I can't understand this either. Ofsted would suspend her registration immediately while they investigate. I expect it was recorded as an accident not an assult and therefore ofsted were not informed. She should have informed them herself but it doesn't look like she was one for following the rules.

I also don't understand how she hadn't had her registration stopped after trying to get PIP. Presumably she saw a dr about these health conditions and as you need a health check to register the dr would know she is a CM and would have had a duty to report to ofsted if she is unfit.

Ratios used to be a maximum of 3 children under 5 of which only one could be under 1. And 6 children under age 8. New ratios are 4 children under 5 and I don't agree with it. If you have an upset child or a child with SEN then 4 under 5 is hard to manage safely and with high standards of education. Also whe. I first started ofste would be inspecting every 3 years and now it's really common to go 8 years between inspections. ( this is true of nursery too however).

Lots of opportunities to stop this happening were missed. That poor family
