Nursery workers/parents needed for television documentary

by: Claire Rogerson - 09-11-12 16:08

Do you work in – or use - a nursery which has been rated satisfactory, good or outstanding by Ofsted?

Do you think it deserves the rating; or are there hidden problems?

We need your help to answer the question on many parents’ minds - “Can you trust your nursery?”

This is just for research at the moment, so please get in touch and tell us if you’ve had experience at a nursery that’s letting parents and children down. Information received will be treated in confidence.

Thank you!

Claire

Apologies if I my comment comes across wrong as it is a genuine reply but if this is a genuine research for a TV documentary why are the replies to be sent to a Yahoo email address that could technically be any person wanting to get information.

Wonder if she'd be interested in my idea for a TV show? Putt Or Die! A cross between Gladiators and crazy golf.

It's already been done Claire. There has already been a journalist searching for a bad nursery in order to make a tv programme. She went undercover and secretly filmed the staff. The result was that parents watching the programme started to worry about what was going on in their own perfectly good nursery. Which, of course was the intention of the journalist. Slime off Claire, there's a good girl.

As whom says Claire, this has been done and is old news, very old news.

Think you would have alot more interest, and respect from the industry, if you were to do research into settings that are doing the job well, regardless of inspection result.

We are a low paid workforce, doing to job because we love working with children, we get enough knocks as it is without "journalists" having their twopennorthworth.

There is alot more to childcare than sitting on the floor singing and changing nappies you know!!!

by: red sun

oh and by the way I won't be interested. I was approached a number of years ago by Channel 4 to manage a "made up" setting to "promote" men working in childcare. I refused my 15 minutes of fame as I felt I would be setting myself up for a fall!!

How about a TV programme celeberating all that is briliant about the early years workforce? No? thought not.

sadly good news doesn't make for light entertainment

have you seen a "documentary" about anything outstanding? be it nursery, care home, hotel, cafe, sheepdog? erum no!!

by: Keekee

As a childminder, I'd like to see when they mention the 'atrociously expensive childcare costs' they actually explain how much of the fees actually go back to the child, food, toys, heating, lighting, toilet paper etc. what's left is what I earn.
