Laws stop parents learning about incidents in childcare While Vanessa Alexander is happy with the childcare centre her daughter Matilda, 2, attends, she believes parents have a right to know about incidents which occur at childcare centres. "A CHILD was unsupervised and fell into a swimming pool," states one. "A child was force-fed" read another. The details of the only four recent childcare incidents listed on an official government site are scant - but it's something. Thousands more incidents never receive this exposure, with laws preventing the naming of most services being investigated or subject to extra monitoring. Mum Vanessa Alexander believes parents should be uncomfortable with the situation. "My daughter Matilda is at a place I'm really happy with, but how would I know if it's on a monitoring list?" she said. I think it's awful that parents aren't allowed to know which services are having problems. We deserve to know all the facts. A spokesman for one of only four centres listed on the official National Quality Framework register said he had no objection. A spokesman for Pied Piper Child Care says the centre had no objections being listed on the National Quality Framework register. Brett Molloy, of Pied Piper Child Care in Templestowe, said the centre had overhauled its systems since a toddler was accidentally left locked in a minivan. "Being on the register is part of the process," he said. But NurtureOne managing director Geoff Hamilton said it was unfair Roscoe Avenue Children's Centre, in Hamilton, was named. He denied a child there had been force-fed, and said conditions imposed as a result of the allegations had been lifted. "We had to give staff additional training, and we've done that," he said. Another service named on the State Government register is the Family Day Care Program at Bendigo Community Health Services, after a child fell in a pool. "We view this situation very seriously and would never want a child, family or educator to be exposed to an event like this again," a spokeswoman said.
