Hi All,
Brand new to the forum and brand new to childminding, not even pre-reg yet!
I'm 23 and live at home with my Mum and Dad, have loads of childcare experience and some qualifications and really want to start my own childminding business.
The only problem is it would obviously have to be from my parents home, do you think this would be ok? Would OFSTED allow it?
There is a room that I could use as a dedicated playroom downstairs, and we also have a large spacious hallway which I would use during the day to extend the play space, aswell as a downstairs toilet and access to the kitchen, which is large and ideal for messy play. My Mum and Dad also have a large (very nicely landscaped!) but child friendly garden and decking area at the back of the house, aswell as a large flagged driveway out the front which is empty of cars during the day and would be perfect for trikes etc.
I would want the conservatory (except for getting out to the garden) and living room (except for occasional television/dvd) to be kept private for my parents' sake.
Do you think this space would be adequate?
Has anyone else minded from their parent's home?
Many thanks,
