Minding when not registered

[son77]

I didn't realise it was illegal either until I started childminding.

I have heard locally though that some of the older childminders here have got fed up with Ofsted & paperwork etc so have given up their registration but carrying on minding as normal!

Well done on reporting her, she shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.

Looks like Ofsted will be doing something right for a change.

Well done for reporting her! I'm dying to know what happens! Makes you wonder why she was doing it as she can't have earned much, unless she has absolutely tons of children.

Loads of people do it illegally though, it's not a well known fact that it's against the law. A couple of ladies down the road look after each other's children during the day for each other while the other person works and I'm sure that's illegal too as it's payment in kind isn't it? I wouldn't do anything about that though.

well done debbie

Well done for reporting it, it begs the question why not get registered?? Ok its a lengthy process but atleast you know everything is above board, please let us know what happens x

Well done Debbie! Can't believe people would consider leaving their kids with someone like that!

i cant believe people send their children to these people for the sake of 1 or 2 pounds

Some people!
I can't believe how open she is about it!
Hopefully ofsted will ring as a prospecive parent and she will be caught red handed so to speak.
I bet its surprising how many parents don't know about it being against the law , and just are after cheap childcare, they will soon change their minds when they can't claim help with fees

[Spangles]

I think what it boils down to is that parents don't realise what a childminder is and what we offer. That, and they are often looking for bargains which is disgusting when it comes to the welfare of your children.

Well done Debbie

let us know what happened when ofsted get back to you.

[LittleMissSparkles]

just catchin up with what ive missed,

well done debbie, you may have saved a child from harm or god forbid worse by reporting this person, be proud of yourself xxxx I am of you xxx

[katickles]

Oh my god, i'm not suprised that your annoyed! thats bad. I would definatly report them to ofsted, like you said it takes time & money to register & its also against the law to mind when not registered!! The cheek of some people!
