In the NCMA handbook it says that things you buy that you use exclusively for chidminding (eg toys,equipment) can be offset against tax.
How to-the-letter do we need to take those intructions? I have things I buy for the childminding I wouldn't have otherwise bought but which my kids then use too, like garden toys. As I bought it for the business is it ok to claim it as a taxable expense?

I would say so yes, I intend to anyhow.

Oh that's good, because I want my ones to feel they can join in with the mindees, and they lend their toys to the cause so it seems only fair.

yes exactly, I think if its not a major excessive amount the tax man won't question it.

Just ask yourself... if the tax man came round tomorrow and questioned your spending / expenses, would you be able to justify it? :D

quite agree that line will work every time. especially as we have the new eyfs coming up and we have to have the little ones up to scratch.haha, a new dslite with brain training will go down well with the taxman as well.
