I have just been having a look through the Ofsted website and just wanted to check with you ladies (because you make more sense than Ofsted!)
Am i right in thinking that i can apply to use my Mum as an assistant, and this would mean i can leave her alone with mindees while i am elsewhere on the premises? And also that i can leave her alone in the house with children in the early years age group for a short time, for example to do the school run?
She already comes round on her day off work and helps me out because she enjoys it. I never leave her alone with the children but it would make life so much easier if i could! I dont mean to leave the house and do the weekly shop or anything, just to be able to make lunch while Mum is in the garden with the children for example. I wouldnt want to increase my ratio as it is not guaranteed that she will be here every week.
Would i have to pay for her CRB or do Ofsted cover this?
