I have just done EYFS. What you say is true. I worry that mothers are going t lose the right to bring up their own children. If we listen to the “voice of the child” that voice very often says”I want Mummy” but nurseries do not pass this on to parents, I am not being anti-feminist but I don’t think going out to work in a dead end -job and putting your child in an understaffed nursery is what we all imagined as the future of feminism, and it certainly is not respecting children’s rights. I some times find that adults have somehow got the idea that children are being “manipulative” or “Clingy” or willful when they object to being left in a nursery, this is very sad.

Why do not all child care workers agree one day of strike action against extreme low pay and poor working conditions - the worstly treated sector in the uk? It would be crippling to industry, although not badly effect children, as they would get to spend the day with their mums.
