not 100%
you can put through the rooms that you childmind in...so toilet kitchen and main room and any other room to do with cming...

There was a thread on this a while ago, and I'm sure the answer was you can claim a percentage depending on how much of the house you use for childminding. For example if you have 5 rooms in the house and use 3 for minding (ie kitchen/ conservatory/ lounge) then you can claim 3/5 of the cleaning cost - 60%.

will see if i can find the thread

I pay my cleaner for 1 hour per week just to clean the downstairs(all used for childminding) I claim all of this money...she only charges £9 per hour...is this OK?? And do I need reciepts for it every week as its less than £10??
