I am not a registered childminder yet, but am wondering how childminding works between friends? I have a friend who wants me to look after her little one for a few hours in a few weeks while she goes to work. If she didn't pay me i can still look after her little one? Can someone explain it to me.....

There is an Ofsted fact sheet on childminding between friends which details how this is viewed by them - it's in free resources (free downloads) at the top of the forum.

Many childminders have problems working for friends... be very careful!

Get the business side of things absolutely right from the start and start as you mean to go on.

You can work for no reward as Miffy says have a look at the Ofsted factsheet.

I hope your registration hurries along :D
