I am in two minds over Ofsted's proposal to put information about childminders in England on the internet (News, 3 April). In one way, I don't agree with this, as it's important to protect the children in their care, and putting details on the web could put them at risk. But then again after watching the television programme 'Who's looking after your children?' (News, 10 April), it could be a good thing for parents, as they could find out what childminders' reports say and if their child could be at risk, like the poor baby boy who was shaken by his childminder, causing his death.
