I had a mum doing a nursing degree and her uni paid me, I only had to be a registered provider though, not really sure how other unis work you would need to check.

To offer the Nursery Education sessions you have to be accredited and this can take some time depending on your LA.
Contact your childminding coordinator for the criteria for your area, seems to differ around the country.
Payments to you can be received by way of Care 2 Learn or mum may have got a childcare grant.
Good luck

Well I need help on this too - a girl contacted me last week, came to see me, liked it and said she wanted me to look after her lo. She took my reg number and went to college with it on fri. Phoned me and said not got start date as college not done timetables. I'm not worried either way as I have a space and 3 or 4 days would suit me. SOOOOOOO as i'm not accredited nor do I want to be can I have the lo then??? No mention of any problem or accreditation was made , she simply took my reg.no and presume gave it to college. Hmmm. Maybe I will phone college:huh: No coordinator

Of course you can, but college would have to pay you for all the hours if mum is not accessing funded sessions. I presume lo is the correct age for funded sessions, usually from the term after 3rd birthday.Parents don't have to use funded sessions.
