Hi everyone, We are thinking of turning our garage in to a playroom only used for childminding. Only problem is the garage is not attached to the house. The garage runs along side the garden with a single door and window looking out over the garden.
I was wondering what ofsted would feel about me using the playroom but using the toilet in the house (very short walk away). We are hoping to put a small hand basin in the garage and electric heating but its to expensive to put a toilet in. all the children I currently look after are in nappies but by mid next year they will be potty training. I am also hoping to work along side another adult either my mum or partner.
Also would I be able to put the work and expenses through my tax books as the room will only be used for childminding nothing else.
If you have any experiences, views, comments or pictures of your own conversion. I would love to hear them.
Many thanks:)
