Further to the news report (15 March) that registered childminders in poor areas of England are to be eligible for temporary grants of up to 100 a week, I think that childminders need all the help they can get financially as they aren't paid enough as it is. I feel that the best way for a very young child to be educated is by letting childminders have that extra bit of money so that they can expand on the variety of materials they can use to educate the children.
