2/2 We sent the attached letter of complaint to
@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social & Stephen Morgan and await responses. School-based nurseries are rated lower than childminders & do NOT give children the best start. We guess like schools, they will be understaffed & their staff undervalued & underpaid.

1/2 The National Union of Childminders will NOT allow
@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social & the Department for Education to destroy the childminding sector by underfunding childminders (& private nurseries) to the point where the only option parents/carers have is sub-standard school-based nurseries.

As ex-Ofsted boss Amanda Spielman is honoured, how is
@ofstednews.bsky.social misogyny, toxic masculinity & unlawful discrimination allowed to continue? Will @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social act, or would that jeopardise her own honours pathway? Here are 10 examples of Ofsted misogyny that must go.

Here's the email we sent to the Secretary of State for Education - @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social & @stephenmorganmp.bsky.social this morning. It's outrageous that they and other MPs have been stating that school-based nurseries give children the 'best start to life'.

IPPR warns: at current rate of decline, there will be no childminders left by 2033! 98% of childminders were rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted - the highest of any childcare setting, including school-based nurseries. So why is gov't underfunding & undermining this quality, local option? #childcare
