    This was heartbreaking. The doubt it puts in your mind even after seeing videos and photos of my kid being so happy at childcare…

    It really upsets me to see this, and points to the lack of funding for regulatory inspections. This should have been more heavily inspected, especially as they’ll provider kept failing centres.

    In my nursery room I set out to outright ban high chairs and other restrictive devices from the space late last year, to know children were going hours in them when I wasn’t even comfortable with seeing them for a minute or two once they want out is horrific.

      Yes and others in his party have suggested increasing educator ratios from 1 educator to every 11 children to 1 to 50.

        Only a greedy moron that doesn’t actually care about anyone else would suggest such a thing.

        My wife is a kinder teacher and has said how tragic this will be for some children. Children will die if this is allowed.

    All of the people who ever worked there deserve judicial punishment AND a court mandated ban to ever work with vulnerable people.

    AND: Everyone who’s job it was to make sure these facilities were up to standards and are adequately controlled needs to be helped responsible. That does intentionally not only mean the actual people doing the on-scene-audits, but also the people responsible for them. You can have the most upright and non corruptible people doing these audits - if they only have enough financing to have two for 2000 facilities they are useless.

    Disgusting, and a difficult read.

    For the nearly ten years they were operating, none of the centres ever met minimum quality ratings.

    Are these ratings public? Not that it would make it okay, but at least gives people half a chance of avoiding scum like this.

    Anyway, once again the issue with relying on private companies that only care about money to manage something so important reveals itself.
