More reports of horrific abuse at childcare centres have emerged. Mechanisms supposed to stop situations going from unacceptable to unfathomable have failed.
While most services meet national standards, there have been reports of centres operating with unqualified staff, abusive practices and substandard food.

Depending on your child’s birthday, you may have a tricky decision to make about when they start school.
