Not only trina has refused my little one after I let her know he has food allergies, she has even blocked me now! All I said to her was that she should include in her profile that she don’t cater for babies with allergies. This has caused me so much distress because I already worry so much that by baby misses out a lot in life due to his food anllergy and now to even being refused from a childminder. I’m speechless.

Thank you for your feedback.
For clarity, no childcare service was provided and no placement was agreed. At the time of enquiry, I only had full-time spaces available and was unable to accommodate the hours requested.
I would also like to clarify that this decision was not in reference to allergies. I have been a registered childminder for many years and would never refuse a child on that basis. As with all enquiries, I must consider my existing commitments and ensure that my setting remains safe and suitable for all children in my care.
My setting involves established routines and daily off-site activities, including regular visits to a working farm, which also form part of these considerations.
I apologise if this was not communicated in a way that made this clearer at the time. The decision was based solely on availability and suitability of hours and was not personal.
I wish you every success in finding childcare that meets your requirements.
