Is anyone else freaking out about the nursery scandal that's in the news right now? Goodness knows it's hard enough finding decent (so you'd hope) childcare without learning that what should be the most innocent of havens - a nursery - is at the centre of a (not sure I can use the word on this forum) 'ring' that messes with babies and toddlers. I'm looking to move my two children (one 2 years old and one on the way)to a nursery nearer home (Peckham Rye ish) and am now seriously worried about making the move. Our nursery may be miles away but I'm fairly certain that it's safe (as certain as I can be). And now the thought of moving to an unknown is giving me sleepless nights.

Anyone got any thoughts or words of reassurance??

Its awful, but the reason its in the news is because it is so totally unusual. Seriously the chances of it happening to you are a million to one - much more likely to get hit by a car and all that.


You could take my approach and try not to read about these things so they don't upset you?

I agree with Mellors, try not reading the sordid details and go by your gut feelings of the nursery you will be placing your children in. I think if something dreadful was happing at nursery your two year old will certainly not like going in the mornings and you, with your mother's instinct, will be able to pick up on something like that. In any case, the chances of something terrible happing are very, very slim. Hope this helps. -C

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
