Hi
The PPL have just quoted me £109.47 +VAT per year for a background music policy! so i sent them the information you shared on here and told them i wouldn't have any background music anyway.

Well done that's absolutely the right way to handle things!
If you use music for family / personal listening or for education you do not need a licence

Hi
well i got a response to the "i don't think i need this" email i sent today
"Hi Karen
Thank you for your email.
I can confirm music usage for educational purpose is not licensable by PPL. This means a PPL Licence is not required for your childminding business.
I hope this helps."

Thank goodness for that - thought for a moment that Sarah and I were going have to 'sdpeak' to them again.

AND - they have added a very important line
A PPL licence would normally also be applicable if your sole use of music is to educate children as instructed by a recognised curriculum. However, although licensable under the terms of the CDPA (1988), PPL chooses not to license the use of its repertoire in a childminder’s home for this purpose
So there we have it - after months of keeping on about this we now have the result we wanted
By now I was just as excited as Sarah - and I think we both need a pat on the back.
I have attatched the new factsheet - please do share with as many as possible as PPL want ALL childminders to know about this.

However, I do put music on to soothe one child when going down for a nap, this seems to warrant a licence ?

Thank you for signposting this.
I've now investigated further and it seems that soothing a child before a nap is not part of the ' curriculum', is more entertaining so therefore does come under needing a license.
So luckily youngest is a musician and is now creating for me a bespoke piece of music that hopefully will replace the current music I use for this LO's naps....and is giving me permission to use it.
Problem solved.
Well done Sarah and Penny for working hard on this so that we can all benefit now.
