My son is 17 now, working and driving (where did that go)? However, this I'm sure will create a big debate. When I had to decide on childcare I chose a childminder because I wanted him to have the next best thing to home. I DIDN'T WANT eyfs, I wanted  REAL LIFE!! I wanted shopping. cleaning, time for the park, watching tv!!!!!

If I was again in the fortunate position to be looking for childcare I have to say, my views haven't changed. So, get your acceridated ofsted and all the other certificates, at the end of the day I just want a 'surragate mum'

I am a childminder and I do everyday things with my mindies.There is nothing wrong with this as my mindies dont go and do these things with their parents as they tend to kick off and the parents dont like that so they go with me as they need to experience things like a bank a supermarket for later life.It is learning for them.I know nurseries that send children out with the staff in buggies but the learning they get is to stay outside the shop while staff sort out their fones and do their shopping!!!!!!!! this I dont agree with.
