  • The Unfair Rule 

    The Unfair Rule 

    Being a great childminder,

    Is the most rewarding job.

    But there is an unfair ruling,

    That makes us all want to sob. 

    Anyone in our family,

    Cannot use us for childcare.

    Because they can’t claim funding,

    It’s incredibly unfair! 

    The parents have the added stress,

    They need to find a new setting.

    But the fact that it can’t be us,

    Leads to anxiety and fretting! 

    The little ones they suffer,

    They don’t get our love and care.

    They miss out on our teachings,

    Because they simply can’t be there.

    Or we have to give a free place,

    Yet we have a set ratio.

    So we struggle financially,

    It feels like quite a blow!

    We still have all our bills to pay,

    How will we make ends meet?!!

    Do I not take on my family,

    Or do I simply not eat?! 

    Now we don’t want to cheat the system,

    So when will the government see?!

    We just want fair childcare choices,

    And to help our family!
