I wish we had this lady lol
We attended a training with HMRC person who basically told us we couldn't claim for a training that was not a requirement of registration such as First Aid and the like. E.g. so the training I attended on Saturday which was a music and communication one couldn't be used as it was not a requirement but one I had chosen to do.

Hmmm you put your son's xmas present through as the mindee's will play with it
Does this mean that it would be ok to buy my son's an Ipad 2 for xmas, and let my mindee have a few go's, and then put it through my expenses
And yes everyone is entitled to their opinion, but just because that opinion is different to yours, does not mean that your opinion is the only one that matters!
Debate is good, insults are not x

For me its not about saving money and not paying the tax man that is just a bonus. In 9 years of minding three years I have paid tax of £250, £600, and the last tax year £13. the remaining ones no tax.
I buy a lot of resources through the year and as I want my setting to be a quality setting offering lots of experiences so I buy Quality products. My friend on the other hand believes in being thrifty and shops mainly in charity shops and gets lots of bargains she hasn't paid tax either.
I don't drive, I live in a rubbish area with not much for the children so we spend a lot of time in my setting. When we do go out when hubby is available to play chauffeur all my costs go through I do not charge the parents extra.
I got a loan for the garden to be developed approx £8K none of which went through my books due to this Capital Tax thingy (sorry not sure what its proper name is). this year I have had new fencing put in the back garden. Its a neighbours fence and they wouldn't replace it so we have had to as it wasn't safe to let the children out in the back garden. That is going through my books as I wouldn't have replaced it if I hadn't been a childminder, so no doubt I won't be having to pay tax this year either. In theory I should put it all through but am only putting half through to be on the safe side. I use an accountant and check things with him but know that I can explain where every penny has gone

This is what I love about this forum compared to others. Everyone has an opinion, but in some other forums discussions can get nasty, personal with really bad language However on here, most of you have apologised if your opinion has offended anyone, or said they respect others opinions even if they didnt agree with them. You are true ladies.

yall should do what i do....
just don't DO accounts... - bury your head in the sand and forget about accounting.

Can you put through money then that you pay your children to help you to do cleaning, tidying up etc? Do they have to be CRB checked, a certain age and classed as an assistant then?
