TV Presenter states that childcare providers do ok as they suck up free money
As you can expect this has caused fury from the early year’s sector, as many childcare providers are not running into the sunset with taxpayers money, many are struggling to keep afloat due to a shortfall in funding.
Many have criticised presenter Matthew Wright for not getting his facts right, and the suggesting of loosening ratios to bring down costs was a ludicrous suggestion.
Cutting ratios are most definitely not the answer, potentially causing further issues.
What was discussed on The Wright Stuff TV programme was a clear example of how without the accurate facts and a deeper understanding of the bigger picture it can cause outrage.
Heather Fuller says
His facts are way off the mark.
Paula Barrett says
What ridiculous comments Mathew Wright made, he knows nothing that the difficulties Early years setting face. Underpaid staff that do above and beyond in their roles and why would we cause more financial difficulties to parents who are already struggling.
