He was an operations manager for a nursery who is running a campaign group where he what she has to say in the next few minutes also it we're going to be talking about 1st day stories and 1st No really I guess what happened on your 1st to maybe a school new job the 5 new concept of M.P.'s for our region where they were photographed Yes the darlington train station headed down to Westminster for again ahead of their 1st in the job today all much in blue scarfs they all other suitcases packed just double check you've got everything you need you know get down to Westminster for the 1st time saw we want to hear from you your 1st day stories 10859595 you with His early on our roof kind of called My Story of when I worked at Stockton and billing in college as it was and on the 1st day of getting that job was a school liaison officer I went to Stockton instead of billing I'm sorry that's where I was and it took me 40 minutes to get there you could have walked it quicker you know Oxbridge Avenue back to the center building in peak time not good for you I always remember being 16 year old and starting a hospice housing caesarean management course that colleges that then was middles because it's now of course and when he went in it was split between reception and sort of a survey in the management part of A's and also the kitchens the 1st day in the kitchens with the chef whites on and.

Nice suits you there was a giant pyramid of cans of lager on the bar and so when he slammed the till shot the whole pyramid fell down when he said Go and sit with a supervisor for 10 minutes to calm down he says and I'm never done by work since I can see why that would put you off to go she went to the Bangles What if I thought I had little spurts of a day thank you sir or 80859595 years are free call number and we'll read some more of yours I think Howard and they will get to in the next 20 minutes. Besides County Durham North York b.b.c. . By minutes past the 30 hours free childcare can be great for parents but for some nursery schools and other childcare providers it's actually pushing pushing them to breaking point now the funding they're given by the government just isn't covering the cost apparently an indictment and its failures that demand could actually outstrip supply in the future causing problems for both parents but also councils as well where we spoke anonymously to a nursery owner who didn't really want to be identified here on b.b.c. But this is their experience and it's been voiced by one of our produces the fact that I have to work elsewhere speaks volumes and we scrape by on a month by month basis we don't take any dividends and look at the ownership as an investment for our retirement we try to be as flexible as possible the funding formula is the same as was set out by the council when the nursery education grant was set and there is nor room to maneuver every penny we receive is effectively given back to the parents in fees as in There are no on costs kept like no admin costs equally alongside the 30 hours the funding received for any 2 year olds is a little more than the nursery education grants per child but the ratio of child to staff is hard which is absolutely not reflected in the funding. We always used to pay staff above minimum wage but we can't tell you that any mall and I'm very concerned that if minimum wage goes to $10.00 pounds an hour the funding we receive won't change to reflect that and parents may not be able to pay the cost of fees which would need to be raised to cover the costs although parents may get a pay rise themselves it's still all relative Well listen to this morning's Joe Morris who is an operations manager of a nursery also runs the campaign group champagne nurseries on lemonade funding and we can speak to chill this morning how you Joe Killinger right to sell some too familiar to you unfortunately are that you absolutely everything that you are without it like is just more hilarious our country is a national problem and just walk us through exactly what's happening and I guess the the fall out because of this. Basically that the prizes are for encourages us or not but they the crew has no which ones you know we try very hard which what. We are running to others are going to limit their losses are having to be quite rigid in the hours that they can for the cost presumably most across subsidise. Cecil's nonmoving 100 hours or they have to as children who have to rise because they will have to make some courses do some research it really is a national problem parents are reporting now that they're finally at the school. That they need we are saying like a $500000.00 a month close or it's there is because of them it was him or his nearly 4 year old who's underfunded Fortunately the warnings are coming to fruition I had this kind of experience Joe when my younger I mean she's 6 now so she's this girl when she was younger we had to do a nursery we paid when she got to you know the right age we said ah do you do this this this for a child care and they were like No because it's not worth our while and is that something that you'll find more and more of because I mean lots of child care providers. Barely breaking even. At the start and I work in a hard place because I think. The funding will have been to try the sides cos of stories like this difference is for some losses and if we don't offer it then families will go elsewhere so we will not start to develop in any way this competition. Is to have to limit them they are breaking leverage here I haven't been back additional Salix const you for still who go to the government's claim that this is free childcare was telling us that we should be charging for single males additional services consumables things that parents can expect to pay for is the wording so I think what we agree largest encourages them across our state and a bit more honesty really there is no such thing as free childcare costs somebody has to cry What happens if that funding remains the same or is there we say you know we've seen a conservative government with a majority now that funding is possibly reduced in the future where where we heading or for coming. Absolute disaster. Among. School Rice in 2050. 7 we were promised a comprehensive child in Newton that was then scrapped we've now been told that we can expect. Which is a. Solid top for us so really with our really comprehensive with a national trend in education. We are child unfortunate fragrant. Sorry news to hear isn't it Joe thank you so much for your time this morning that's Joe Morris who is the operations manager of a nursery and runs a campaign group called Champagne nurseries on lemonade funding you heard what she had to say that. Council we approached them in a spokesperson said a detailed report on child care provision in Darlington has been prepared ahead of the children and young purple sorry young people's scrutiny committee which is happening actually today the report sets out the steps the council is taking to meet its child sufficiency and the council will continue to work with child care providers to ensure sufficient availability of child care places and to support them to live a high quality services to Darlington families I mean that's just one comes Larry that we will follow the story in any updates that we get of course we will bring you 1st came on b.b.c. .

To the Irish in behind fry left of the cold to shut away the 6 pack at the plate Oh you know it's a penalty that is going to get a a short run or are you against. 6 the cold. Game and surely seek to complete the 42nd minute song to get possession for the set to circle. Up against fun to hold swords to take in Iraq.

You find yourself top time one nil down and it was a nothing game just went by didn't. They start the 2nd off well made a substitution a suit. We got ourselves back into the game and I thought you know what kickoff trying to get something to challenge you Marcus Brown is a stupid one. For me. So you have to money Jeez Gambetta and a few times. It's not plenty hot it's a gamble till fall you let your team down when you get suspensions if you team down when you get sent off it's a ridiculous challenge when you've already been told about the 7 for the just money if you think that is a straight right then the party must now want people already goes off I thought this is a push on the gold of the games you can go on you're going to get the winner and send him off to kill the 2nd one I certainly will contest to see a few times and if such a story read it's a ridiculous story that in my opinion because I don't think it does me think proud to follow. Every game on b.b.c. Sees the phone all the oakum for a funds we're looking for of course when it's a long journey anyway in a buck from Swanzy but extra long if you don't win you can have your say with.

Pour trunk lid stuff there's no What's the crack there Alison's been on says she's moved a 100 yards about 10 minutes it's not wonderful as a portrait led from the end 19. All the way up towards chockablock and it's chock a block as any other way as well as it could be from Stockton town center down towards the the roundabout saw in the lobby something happening on the ice the roundabout It seems a little bit busier than it normally would be for this time of day if you know of days on that would appreciate you call Thank you Alison for doing just that and I'm saying northbound not solid back as far as Ackland but busy heading northbound towards the 66 plenty on the 66 heading between you port and Hartington very very slow if you heading off the Paul road already busy on the Wilderness Road. The only between stocks and Middlesbrough and you got to find it slow on the 177 as you can begin to watch stock the slight build up at the bank awards Tesco was very busy as he headed down towards the Mile House not massively think either side of the 66 but is busy busy and on the move as it is through Yarm and it's all fairly healthy in the water bottles were just slaw coming down Dixon's by a busy if you're travelling down all the banks of heavy traffic as you heading eastbound on the $174.00 towards red car again you'll find it fairly heavy heading in towards Seaton on the 689 the whole lot of after filthy that in the end I let it with a crack is there north a seam of the problem at the moment with the stablish What about it well no reports of accidents or instance there as you traveling northbound on the air 19 yeah but definitely had a very very slow from c m d your pass the a 690 again the a 1231 all the sudden 691 in 3 at 1231 that stretch of the 19th very very heavy and very very slow indeed if you spot out give us a shout of the travel line audible 30123 or what I want to keep in Seaside County Durham and North Yorkshire on the move b.b.c. Sees. A 23 Thanks Dave now good news this morning if you use the valley train between Middlesbrough and Whitby because from today you can catch an early a train if you need to get to James Cook hospital in Middlesbrough and this is a later evening service that's running as well it's the 1st time in nearly 30 years an extra trains have been put on that's also going to be on with connections to Darlington north and down to York Leeds but also Newcastle as well and our reporter Sean Davies who lives actually in greater and caught the train the small and things he run into were problem Hello Just a quick update from grace 8 and station the train missed you at 735 it's now 749 no sign of it the bald one saying it was due in on time and then announcement disappeared and now all it says is welcome to there's just 2 of us today at the station and. I've got no idea what's going on I'm not a great start really it's pretty cold snow on the ground. And. Make it into Middlesboro town sense that we're going to find out now because our reporter late Johnson is at Middlesboro railway station for his money late. Did she make it out the big question she standing in front me right now the train was 20 minutes late I think this is probably happening across the country has lots of new services coming in right across the u.k. This morning isn't it was 20 minutes late not the best start Morning Show No but you know walk on the train was present through the vacancy so I am easily. Yeah it was good there was plenty of people on the train. Of the great. Station and the walk up and stuff it's quite. You know I'm here and. Your fellow commuter Bob is standing alongside you Bob How was your experience of it this morning good morning yeah it was great science most of the train. Left the car there came in made a big change as now we're going to drive in and it is it can be tedious in the morning so sit down on the train and I shall set. Of course. Sadly I don't think he's going to suspect that will be a day and we think we'll be getting this train I think it providing it's running on time provided it's running on time that's going to be obviously. Let's say I'm a hopeful. Probably know every day but cut for me quite often Yeah it's going to be a really great service for me and means it means I can leave the car home and not feel guilty about 11 days of what I'm really going to be burning out of Williams who's the chair of the community real partnership is here as well and we say they're not the best album this was all caused by because it's a single truck isn't and there was a train coming the other way it is in day then we had to wait for the school train and that presents us with a problem. This is the 1st time we've done it for 30 years learning of it. Along the line had to wait for the school trying going the other way the school trains just as important because they fit runs like I get lots of phone calls from I write parents who and do I need to take my child in school by car so that's clearly something we've got to look at and we will be having conversations about that today because obviously just as the school kids need to get there on time so to commuters and we want people to rely on this trying to be able to rely on this truck How are you going to solve that though it's a single truck is and that school train is going to be running more often than not business oh yes a school train runs every day as indeed this frame around every day so we have got to resolve it and I think it's a question of making sure the trains run on time. Because he said that John is a big problem across the northeast as you know we're going to work at it and if this is your on it is an experimental service nobody's done it for 30 years we don't really know when people. Want to use a train where they're coming from where's their best station so we're on a learning curve it's also experimenting in the sense that it's been funded by serious minerals and so we've got to as I keep telling people we've got to use it or we might lose it our eagle eyed newsreader Ana Marie this morning spotted at the last train back going into Whitby doesn't stop at greater than why you. Saw a little neglecting some of the stops along the way you know the train going back into Whitby does that right I lost Is it the last transit train back stop that's the train back from Whitby into Middlesbrough that doesn't stop and that's because we had to make some difficult decisions there isn't a sufficient time to get the new trains down to where they and back again in the time available and when it came to discuss details timings became clear that we're going to have to drop out some stations the discussion was either we go on working at it or we say Ok we'll have 8090 percent of the train thank you very much because we took the view as a partnership we've been working on long being for this for years which. Let's have a train on the tracks and get it running and then sit down and work out that the fine detail and basically we've said we'll take it from the top the maximum number of people by far the people coming from with so that obviously is not right in fact the trends have to stop there. And then we went down the list of uses and that's the position we've got today. We sacrificed some of the journeys coming back because we took the view that if it was going to be a train people coming in from other parts of the country it really ought to stop as many stations as possible going down the way so that meant sacrificing some of the time journeys coming back up from where. We're going to again going to have to look at that with the timings but there's a big new time change next my and another one in December so there's plenty of opportunity for you going to get it right I suppose I'm quick a quick mark out of 10 from Bob for the service she's definitely 10 out of 10 other days probably more 9 is about the. Sums are just got to talk to those 20 minutes later they'll be hoping that some time from now on thanks very much indeed. Davies may in that way and from great said this morning a pub so sounds delighted and. He's a Christmas treat for you you never ever ever guess who is coming. Next year.
