The government will convene next week the four large groups of private daycare centers highlighted for their abuses denounced in two recent investigative books, the Minister of Solidarity and Families Aurore Bergé announced on Sunday. “From next week”the representatives of these four companies, Les Petits Riding Hoods, Babilou, La Maison Bleue and People & Baby, “will be summoned to my office because I want to understand concretely what happened and above all I want to have their commitments”declared the minister on Europe 1/CNews.
She recalled, as she announced on Thursday, that she wanted “change the law”by making it possible to carry out checks at the headquarters of these companies, and no longer only in each nursery. “Open your account books, at the General Inspectorate of Finance, at the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs (Igas), because I do not want to continue to have parents and reports that alert us”, launched Aurore Bergé. In the coming days, it will also bring together “the prefects who act in the departments, asking them to cross-reference all the data available” to “identify establishments at risk” and enable controls “very targeted and very fast”.
Checks will take place “everywhere”
“If some do not respect safety, then we will have to close them, and take responsibility for it towards the parents”, warns the minister. Checks will take place “everywhere”, including in public nurseries, said Aurore Bergé. A report published in April by Igas “says that acts of mistreatment can also be individual acts, it is not the economic model which creates the mistreatment”, noted the minister.
“Today; 20% of daycare centers are private, 80% on a public or associative model. But we have a massive increase in the number of private daycare centers, so we must understand what their economic model is in order to guarantee that their growth, their profits, do not come at the expense of our children”, she added. Five months following this shocking Igas report on the prevention of mistreatment in nurseries, two investigative books published this week (“The Price of the Cradle” and “Babyzness”) have shed harsh light on the way in which childcare operates. certain private for-profit structures.
