I'm currently waiting to see if I've been successful in getting into the childminding course scheduled for July.
I work in a nursery and have one child and had been thinking of trying for baby no 2 this year but then decided to start childminding first.
However I can't help thinking I would be silly to take children on and then lose them again if I fell pregnant, doesn't make sense business wise plus I already have a job I can have maternity leave with.
My question is...
Can I register as a childminder then wait until have had baby no 2 before advertising and starting my new business? I could advertise whilst on leave and get everything needed ready. Also how long after registering do you need to redo the course etc?
Don't want to start something then have to redo it all again if I can help it!
Thanks
