Can you be a childminder in parents home?

[Abz1982]

To be a childminder, do you have to do it in your own home? Or can you do it in the parents home and be a registered childminder?

in your own home,if you do it at the childs home you are a nanny and the parent(s) are your employers

Cheers, I literally found what I needed after I posted, lol. Yes she would be a nanny, and I now know they CAN be registered with OFSTED for the point of childcare funding (CTC and Vouchers etc)

yed its a fairly easy process and she can def accept childcare vouchers. I am an ofstead reg nanny and am paid with vouchers.

Which childcare courses have you had to do?

 

[maryp0ppins]

As well as nannies, you can also have home childcarers who are basically childminders that work in the parents' home.

Cheers folks. I am thinking I may just look into this. I'm kinda screwed as the nursery cannot guarantee the extra days if I go back FT, and the childminder cant confirm till 8 weeks before, but I have to tell them 8 weeks before I go back.........and Emma has Gymnastics on a thurs afternoon which I am not able to change to any other day as all full . But someone in my own home would work well if they could be here by 7am then wouldnt need to wake kids before I leave for work either.
