Hello everyone, as my title suggests I am looking for a bit of advice from anyone that has a log cabin they use for their childminding.

I am a childminder that cares for children aged 5 and over and my house is starting to feel a bit overcrowded after school and during school holidays. I am considering getting a log cabin placed at the bottom of the garden (playroom only - the children will still use the house for toilet, food etc) and was wondering if anyone can answer the following questions:

What size log cabin do you have?
Rough costs?
Building regs or planning permission required?
How well insulated is your log cabin?
What base is it on?
Do you think it has improved your service?

I have done a lot of research on this so I think I know what I am purchasing but my husband insists I ask a childminder about it before I commit men eh?!

Thanks in advance,
Lyndsey
