Hello!
I am currently a childminder working a 50 hour week and have been for the last 15 months.
I have been asked to nanny for a child that I currently look after in the day time. This would be 9am - 3pm. The reason for Nannying is that the Mum works full time and wants the Little One to be able to do activities like swimming, football, gymnastics! Anyway I am going to be paid a very good rate so would be on the same money that I would be getting at the moment. Plus no Ofsted inspections etc etc!
Anyway I really don't want to let my after schoolers down as I do have quite a few and still have the time after 3pm to look after them.
I only have any of them for a maximum of 2 hours, so my question is can I just register on the Voluntary childcare register for these 2 hours?
Also does anyone know what the adult:child ratio is?
And if the little one I am nannying for has to stay late with me for any reason then could he be present when I'm doing the after school sessions. These sessions will be in my own home, and will be study sessions (as many parents moan that the kids don't get time to do homework etc in the evenings!)
I am so so so confused and am wondering if it's easier to leave things as they are, but I am petrified of Ofsted so wondering if they weren't involved if it would be easier!
I got a good rating in my last assessment so not sure why i'm so scared!
Someone please advise me!
Thank you! :)
