I recently had the idea of hiring myself out to run creche's at weddings etc. Does anyone know if I am allowed to do this as a childminder or do I need more qualifications?

I don't think you would be able to do it as part of your childminding insurance unless you work within Ofsted ratios.

I would speak to ofsted and your insurance company first and see if they have any advice.

It's a good idea! :D
