今天從幼教這個(gè)行業(yè)學(xué)起，畢竟我已經(jīng)在這個(gè)行業(yè)呆了一年的樣子了，很多真的說到心坎上了

Childcare shortage warning?

(?

childminders,

sky high anxiety

, lack of pay and appreciation, not seen as professionals, feel undervalued, has been

childminding

(v.) for one year, can’t make ends meet, keep my household running, numbers of childminders are

falling off from a cliff

, launch a national campaign to support the recruitment and retention of a staff, not enough to boost the workforce numbers, one way of

plugging the gap

could be allowing the sector to recruit from abroad, women can’t go back to work for after their maternal leave)- from BBC

Weak childcare service:

( limited assessment of the children; concerns over safety and rise of infection; did not

demonstrate a good understanding towards the administration of medication

, procedures were not considered as robust and were deemed to increase risks towards children, childminders carried out limited engaging and interesting

activities relevant to children’s age and stage of development

, written consent had not been provided by parents to ensure that they are were

fully informed and agreeable

to children going for extension,

an individual risk assessment

has not been undertaken to ensure the safety of the children with an identified medical condition,

pet feeding bowls

are left on floor and could be easily accessed by children-

poor infection prevent and control measures

The childcare sector is in crisis, childminders are suffering too.( their

heart swells when the children hug them

at the end of the day, government tried to support more childminders preventing them to

leave in droves
