I am wondering why apprenticeships offered by Childminders are not mentioned in this letter which was sent to me today via www.foundationyears.org.uk

Is it just a minor typing error or is that apprentices working for Childminders would not be eligible even though we do, alongside nurseries, school nurseries and children's centres offer early learning places for two year olds?

Is it felt that Childminders cannot offer quality Apprenticeships?  Well I'd like to confirm that I am a Childminder and I do have an apprentice and I feel that I am offering her a quality apprenticeship equal to that she could get at a nursery, school nursery or children's centre!
