"The women fell foul of new legislation set out in Labour's Childcare Act 2006 that prevents anyone from gaining a "reward" for looking after someone's children for more than two hours away from the child's home, unless they register with Ofsted and follow the normal childminder rules."

I think having them look after your child in exchange is the reward!

Agree with everything that's been said, and also did you see "They are thought to have been reported to Ofsted by a neighbour"?


It's a minor point, but what possible good could the neighbour have thought he or she was doing? It frightens me the way the increasingly stringent laws seem to be becoming interpreted so that anyone not cleared by CRB checks must almost by definition be doing wrong, and a possible child abuser or neglectful parent.

      Found: Friendly black and white cat hanging out on Lordship Lane

      By genwilliams · Posted

      He/she followed me and my friends quite a long way along the road so we worried they might be out of their catchment area. Quite dusty paws which also made me think perhaps they’d been roaming away from home for a few days. Took photos in case anyone is missing them! Very pretty, friendly long-haired black and white cat, leopard print collar, pink paw-print metal tag. They eventually stopped following us across the road from Mrs Robinson.

      I took it to mean that he was going to present all sides of the argument (for want of a better term) rather than just giving his own opinion. I didn't take it to mean that he was calling "his own views" balanced.

      I just did this survey. There are a number of problems with it. For example, in at least two questions you have an option "other, please specify" but there is no way to specify what the "other" is. Also, you have several questions where if you have nothing appropriate to answer, you get a statement "this is a required question", or words to that effect, so you have to put in something like "nothing" in order to move on. Can I suggest that this is likely to confuse people so they just give up half way through? Maybe you should test it out on a few people before going "live" with it?

      Brockwell Lido - in a miserable state

      By Katherty · Posted

      I went to Brockwell Lido on a hot day last summer to do some lengths. It was busy.  I kept getting other people's hair, which was floating around the pool, tangled in my hands. It was gross. I'm not sure if that was unusual, or if it's always like that on a hot day.
