Why are childminders allowed sole charge of up to six children? A day nursery would have to provide two members of staff to care for one child, let alone six.

Children's trusts that were created by the Children Act in 2004 following the inquiry into the death of Victoria Climbie have made little difference to children's services, an Audit Commission study has found. Trusts often lack clear direction and have made slow progress, with 'little evidence of better outcomes for children and young people', the Commission said. It said the trusts were still 'bedding down', but called for children and young people to have more say in how services are designed.
