hi all i own my own home but was told i had to ask council about planning permission to do childcare from home, i have been sent questionaire from council and they will decide if i can go ahead as anyone else had this and will it cause me problems thanks debbie:panic:

It depends on where you live Debbie. Where I live we only have to apply for planning permission if we take on an assistant and increase our numbers.

We only have to apply if we have more than 6 under 8s.

thank you for replies just have to cross fingers xx

Hi debbie, it is the usual process and will usual come back with an ok.

thank you Ali for your reply it really helps x

Hi Debbie

I also had to fill in a planning form from my local council when I registered with CSSIW. I have been restricted to having 6 minded children, of any age, only - however I can really only fit 4 mindees and my 2 daughters in the car anyway so it's fine by me!

thanks tulip i think i should be ok i was worrying about parents parking but i have a big drive they can pull into so neighbours should be ok x:)
