Hello there,
I am currently looking into becoming a childminder and was hoping you would be able to tell me if childminding specifically needs to be done from my home, or can it be done from a building (like a community centre, church etc)
Look forward to your response

a childminder is defined as someone who works from home.
The best place to go for more advice is Ofsted -

I think you would be classed as a creche or playgroup if you didn't work from home.

Or a nursery or childcare setting? All the paperwork I have read has said that its in your own home or another childminders home.

could a childminder mind the children at their own home though? For example a parent has 5 children and instead of them coming to me the parent would perfer me to mind the childen at their own home, would that be okay?
