green hippo Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hi, I'm sure I have read on here somewhere that someone had set up a in their own home - running as 2 Child-minders? Just interested to find out what different types of settings are out their as well as the standard school nurseries, sessional pre-schools and day nurseries. If it is possible to set-up a setting in your home as a child-minder, I am assuming that you can state which age of children you are willing to take?

Guest Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hi you can work as child minders at home, if you have more than three childminders working together it Is classed as child care on domestic premises and you then have to have a manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodlands1997 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 We are a day nursery in our home (big house luckily bought to do this!) but are classed as childcare on non domestic as we have rooms that are solely used for the nursery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green hippo Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Thanks woodlands1997. Could you describe you setting to me please. How many adults? What age of children? etc Thanks. Green Hippo x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodlands1997 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 We have 26 children - normally six under 2 in one room that is really like a lounge and then 20 2,3 and 4 year olds across the back of the house sharing what is also our family lounge in the evenings so we keep it this way - sofas, coffee table, telly and non messy activities/ play ! We split the 2-3 year olds off at certain times depending on numbers etc making use of all the space. We normally have 7 staff, 3 in baby room and 2 with 2-3 year olds and 2 with 3-4 year olds! Hope that's sort of clear, quite hard to describe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
