    I would do it if I was walking but not if I had to use the car. I would hate to have a child I could not get to know and only go in and out of the car.

    It is a grey area if they never come to you home. I would check with your car insurer before you commit to it.

    Also you need to think about what would happen if your car broke down, if there was heavy snow or floods and you couldn't get out what would happen.

    If you were ill or your children.

    What impact will it have on the other children in your care, hoe long will they be in the car everyday as a result of this?

    I did it a few years ago for a disabled parent - it was just a matter of walking in a circle home and dropping the child on the way.

    I wouldn't do it if I was driving though because the child would take up a space in the car preventing me from having more children for longer hours.
