Too much detail

Anthea Thomas (Letters, 10 April) fails to see the true picture of how vulnerable childminders would be if Ofsted's plans to put their personal details on its website go ahead. With the Children's Information Service I can choose whether I wish to be listed or not and can use its contact telephone number for further information. But I will have no choice as to whether Ofsted prints my name and address. It will then be very easy for people to look in the telephone book for my number as well.
