'childcare on a non- domestic premises.

[Bananabrain]

Silly question that I probably know the answer to: if you care for children say in a church hall/ scout hut. Can you still be classed as a childminder? Or are you then a nursery/something else?

[Nature'sKids!]

No, you're a nursery / preschool / playgroup.

[Pipsqueak]

No, you're a nursery / preschool / playgroup.

yup!

I think there is a factsheet on the ofsted website about childcare on non-domestic premises.....

[Chatterbox Childcare]

you can childmind on non domestic premises but check out the rates etc as you would be a business if no one is living there

To be a childminder you have to work from a domestic premises - ie someones home.

You can of course work as a childcarer in a hall or similar - but it is different regulations including business side.
