I would like to advise Jan Jeffery (Letters, 10 March) to re-read my letter (24 February). At no point did I claim that all private day nurseries exist purely as profit-making machines. However, we must acknowledge that such settings do exist.

We need to strive for better quality all round, thereby driving unscrupulous nursery owners out of business - which could only benefit Jan and other providers.
I also called for more Government support and investment. This should also be welcomed by Jan and other dedicated owners.
Jan should stop being so defensive. If the cap doesn't fit, don't try to wear it.
