Oap Homes And Creche's

[Gran67]

Is there any difference between the two ?

[Mamyalynne]

How unpleasant a question.

[ummmm]

It is a very odd question.

[Gran67]

Not really, let me explain, in a OAp they are left to carry on and in the creche's the same thing seems to be happening.

[Gran67]

everything is not all cup-cakes and fairy dust Mamalynn

[Mamyalynne]

Is that right - my goodness thank you for enlightening me, I shall climb down from my cotton wool cloud and descend to earth.

[ummmm]

Is that really what you think?

In any decent care/nursing home OAP's are not left to get on with it.

They are certainly not left to get on with it in crèches and nurseries...

[Mamyalynne]

Gran67 must have far more experience than you or I Ummmm

[Gran67]

If you put your child in a creche for 8-12 hours, do you think they are giving your child 8-12 hours attention ?

[ummmm]

My nan does art, karaoke, gardening, story times, hair and makeup....and other stuff. They obviously have a choice whether to join in or not.

[ummmm]

Do you give your child constant 8-12 hours attention if they are at home?

The answer to that would be a NO.

[Gran67]

I don't have any experience, I'm just going by what I've heard.

[ummmm]

Don't listen to what you hear then.

[SirOracle]

I couldn't agree with you more Mamya that the question is unpleasant.
Perhaps it is a misguided attempt at humour.

[Gran67]

I always thought word of mouth is the best recommendation

Bloke down the pub told me the CIA control the sun - I've been indoors ever since.

[ummmm]

Not always. Some people just like to whine and moan.

The is a statutory ratio for carers per child in a nursery. Under one and one-year-olds - 1:3, Two-year-olds - 1:4 etc.

I may be wrong (and I probably am) but there isn't a set legal ratio for adult to adult care in a home.

I have worked in nurseries in the past, and by no means are the children just /left to carry on/

[SirOracle]

Some good advice for you Gran67.
Believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see.

[Mamyalynne]

Classic case of 'shot yourself in the foot' post

That is not always followed through, always-confused.
