No idea, but don't ofsted have a list of things you need to have to be able to provide overnight care like their own room, mains wired smoke alarms.
they would have their own room (my son will sleep with me, he does most nights anyway :laughing: )
just a bit stuck with this very vague question

Do they have a helpline number on there? I called them to ask questions when I was doing mine.

I didn't fill out a form but the inspector asked me if I wanted to be registered for overnight care and I said I can't as I don't have a spare room but she said they don't need their own room just privacy when changing! She then registered me! You do need to provide clean bedding and towels, smoke alarms,baby monitor if a baby etc! Hope this helps!!

I registered for overnight just after I registered as a childminder. All I had to do was call Ofsted and notify them, they asked me a few questions like where they would sleep etc and basically just told me to follow thw guidance for overnight care.
It might be easier for you to do it that way?
Or just put that you are intending to care for ......many children overnight.
Hope this helps
