Recently, the Sichuan Daily Daily Hotline (028-86968696), Sichuan Daily Observation Hotline and Sichuan Online Questioning Sichuan platform received reports from parents from many places: some primary and secondary schools in our province do not have a cafeteria, and children can only go to the school near lunch The "small dinner table" or "lunch daycare", "I don't know if it's not clean, is it safe?" One parent bluntly said: I was a little worried before, and I was even more uneasy during the current epidemic prevention and control period.
Are the parents' concerns justified? How is the current daycare program running around the school? With doubts, the hotline (028-86968696) reporter surveyed on the spot.

A Parents complain
In schools without a canteen, daycare becomes a helpless choice for children
"Waer eats at noon. I'm bored when I think about it." It was June, under the scorching sun, in front of Hangtian Primary School, Longquanyi District, Chengdu City, waiting for the child to go home for lunch. Irritability: "Every morning I sent the doll to school to buy food and cook. I panicked to pick the doll home at noon, and then sent it to school after lunch break. I was tied to the child all day."
In the view of more double-worker families, it is basically impossible to take the children home for lunch. "Now work is mostly from 9 to 5 and we have no time to go back and forth to pick up children." He Yanqiong, a parent of Hedong Experimental Primary School in Suining City, said that in desperation, most of these parents chose to send their children to a daycare institution in order to solve their children's lunch problem. .
The Hotline (028-86968696) reporter saw at Hedong Experimental Primary School in Suining that during lunch time, several special "parents" appeared outside the campus-they were responsible for picking up more than ten students from different grades and classes. The reporter learned that these special "parents" turned out to be the staff responsible for picking up and dropping off students in the daycare. After counting the number of people, the number of reporters, and the assembly, the staff will take the students to the daycare class not far from the school. Near the Spark No. 3 Primary School in Jialing District of Nanchong City and Wuxing Primary School in Shunqing District of Nanchong City, the reporter visited and found that there are also four or five daycare classes here.
"Nooncare classes are mainly responsible for providing lunch and lunch breaks for students." Mr. Yang, the parent of the third primary school student of Spark in Jialing District, Nanchong City, told reporters at the Hotline (028-86968696) that his children had been eating at nooncare classes near the school.
"Although lunch care is only for a lunch, the fee is not low, the average cost is 30-40 yuan a day, and the lunch in the school cafeteria is generally only about 10 yuan. But if you want to go, you can’t make the baby hungry. Classes." Mr. Yang said that many parents he knows can only report their children to day care. And the daycare class he chose belongs to a higher grade. In addition to managing lunch, he can also provide a bed for lunch break.
Relative to price issues, parents are even more suspicious of the safety issues of daycare institutions. "Most daycare classes are held in residential communities. Do employees have health certificates? Are they operating without a license? These are not clear to us." Ms. Jin, a student parent of Hedong Experimental Primary School in Suining City. In this regard, Mr. Yang expressed the same opinion. "The staff is cluttered, the space is small, and there is indeed a certain safety risk." Mr. Yang said that as far as he saw, the management of the daycare agency's personnel health management, student dining distance, and food safety and hygiene were reassuring. It was really Helpless choice for parents.
B Reporter visit
Daycare institutions are in short supply, most of the employees do not have health certificates, etc.
Are the parents' concerns justified? The reporter visited the field.
Under the guidance of parents, the reporter came to a daycare class in Aocheng Garden Community next to Hedong Experimental Primary School in Suining City. The daycare class is located on the second floor of a residential building. The living room is where students eat. More than 20 dining tables are placed in the living room of less than 30 square meters. At the back of the living room, more than 10 foldable small The bed was relatively crowded.
In addition to students, there are 3 staff members in the living room. "My sister is responsible for picking up, I am responsible for taking care of the children's lunch break, and my mother is responsible for cooking and tableware cleaning." The head of the lunch nursery said that they are completely family-run operations, although the conditions are poor, but due to the children's lunch break It is "just needed", so it has been full of customers for two years of operation. "Many parents do not have time to manage their children at noon, so the business has been good." The person in charge said.
When asked if there is a business license, catering service license and health certificate, the person in charge said decisively: "There are no sub-documents, we are private." She also told the reporter of the hotline (028-86968696), other afternoons There is no such kind of certificate for the daycare, and they do not need to apply for "default" in the industry.
The hotline (028-86968696) of the people visited many daycare agencies in Suining, Nanchong and other places, and found that most daycare agencies were "unlicensed drivers." Starting from Wuxing Primary School in Shunqing District of Nanchong City, it takes a few minutes to get to the daycare program run by Ms. The reporter saw that the nooncare class was located on the fourth floor of an old community. The corridor was very narrow, and the width was about 1.2 meters. The three people needed to pass by and the reporter did not see other safe passages. A resident living in the same building expressed concern. "There are many children running up and down every day at noon, and we are all worried about trampling."
In this small living room with no day care, 20 children are divided into a table of 5 to 6 people, and a dish is placed in front of each person. "Our daycare classes are very hot, they are introduced by parents and need to be booked." When it comes to health and safety issues and business license issues, the boss Ms. He said, "After doing so many years, I have not heard of any daycare in Nanchong. The organization has a business license." In the absence of a license, in order to win the trust of parents, Ms. He said: "Relax, my child and your child are eating at a table."
C. Difficulties in supervision
Regarding the daycare agency in the residential area, the relevant department said that it could not be managed or was difficult to manage
Why do many daycare classes operate without a license? A daycare operator revealed that the daycare agency is complicated because of its complicated operation and the certification process is relatively cumbersome, which makes many daycare managers like her discouraged.
From the parents of Gaoping No. 7 Primary School in Nanchong City who “transformed” into a nearby daycare owner, Ms. Zhang described her “sad” history of certificate application. "Because I want to engage in business activities, I need to go to the Market Supervision Bureau to get a business license first, and then because I want to provide catering services, I need to go to the food and drug regulatory department to get a catering service license. Certificates, etc., need to provide multiple materials, and the waiting time is very long.” Ms. Zhang said, “It’s too troublesome. I thought that everyone would start the class without a certificate, so I would simply not do it.”
The Hotline (028-86968696) reporter visited a number of daycare classes. Except for Ms. Zhang, the heads of other daycare classes said that it was unclear which departments should go to apply for which documents.
On the other hand, the supervision of the daycare classes in the residential area seems to be in a vague zone, making the daycare managers feel that there is no need to apply for the corresponding documents.
The reporter first dialed the phone number of the Suining City Education Bureau, and the staff said that this was not part of its management. Under the guidance of the staff of the Education Bureau, the reporter contacted the Social Undertaking Bureau of Hedong New District, Suining City, which undertakes education, health and other functions. The staff of the bureau told reporters that there have been many parents who have reported problems with the supervision of daycare. "But we can only manage the trustee institutions outside the residential quarters. Since the daycare classes are mostly located in civilian houses, such as the communities around the school, we have no management authority and can only contact other relevant departments for processing." The staff member Say.
The staff of the Food and Drug Administration of Nanchong City told reporters that the food safety issue of the daycare does not belong to their management. "Please contact other departments."
Subsequently, the reporter contacted the market supervision bureaus in Suining and Nanchong. The staff of both bureaus told reporters: As this kind of private daycare agency is very hidden, scattered in private houses, and many of them are temporary and temporary operations, their supervision is difficult. On the one hand, it is difficult for them to enter the private houses for inspection. On the other hand, even if they do, many operators of daycare institutions without obvious signs will call them relative children.
"The daycare organization is an industry that responds to market demands and has certain rationality. However, due to the complex operating pattern, there are difficulties in supervision." Gao Shanfeng, chairman of the Sichuan School Culture Construction Research Association, believes.
D Expert advice
Schools make full use of social resources to solve the problem of children's lunch break through unified purchase of services
Despite the chaos, the daycare facility is still a "need" for many parents. How should it be regulated?
Gao Shanfeng believes that the types of services provided by Daycare are diverse and involve many units such as industry and commerce, education, health and so on. It is very important to clearly define the main body of management. At the same time, in view of the tedious problem of certificate application for daycare, "it is recommended to improve the "one-stop" certificate application window and shorten the certificate application process."
"The definition of off-campus training institutions and off-campus trusteeship institutions is different, and daycare classes that do not provide training services should fall within the scope of off-campus trusteeship institutions." Sichuan Discovery Law Firm Yang Ran introduced, "At present, our province has introduced The relevant laws and regulations governing the management of off-campus training institutions, but the laws and policies of the relevant off-campus trusteeship institutions are still not perfect. It is recommended that relevant regulatory legal documents be issued as soon as possible to promote the development of industrial norms."
The root of the unlicensed lunch nursery is the problem of lunch and lunch breaks for some school students without a canteen. In this regard, experts call on relevant departments and schools to plan for this and solve the problem from the root cause.
Gao Shanfeng suggested that schools that are difficult to open canteens in the short term can make full use of social resources. By purchasing services, parents are invited to choose a qualified third-party catering unit to implement a catering system, or to link nearby institutional units to share the canteen with the school.
Ji Dahai, Secretary-General of the Sichuan Provincial Education Society, also believes that schools that are temporarily incapable of hosting canteens can find a list of students who have a need for daycare, and in the form of purchasing services, find a group of qualified and standardized daycare institutions for professional trusteeship. "If circumstances permit, teachers can arrange for lunch to accompany meals."
Ji Dahai also believes that noon care is a kind of after-school service, which not only requires the effective integration of the resources of schools, families, society and other parties, but also requires more specific operating methods and policy support. "For example, when carrying out day care in schools, schools should issue supporting regulations for day care management and train teachers. At the same time, for teachers who provide extracurricular services, the government and the school should give certain labor compensation. Such compensation must be legal, otherwise It is difficult to continue." Ji Dahai said.
