I am going through the process of childminding I've just completed my first aid and just about to start my cpop5,
My question is I have a really close friend I will only have her children for 7 hours each week in the school holidays , we help each other out in lots of ways ,how do I stand with of stead and been self employed the youngest is 5 oldest is 9, I understand that the youngest will b part of my numbers, will I still have to have a contract with her, and how would I declare her as a non payer,
My other question is food??? If I charge the parents for meals can you then claim it back thru personal expenses, I'm glad to be childminding, but feeling a little nervous about ofstead,I'm not rushing the process as I want to get it right, my daughter is now my guinea pig, doing lots of observations all ready for ofstead. I keep telling myself the registering is the hardest part, I hope I'm right lol.
Any advise would b great thanks.
