I would check with the insurance company. There have been some changes to the classifications and I know a couple of members have had problems.

There are some specialist childminding insurance companies - Morton Michel are reasonable, I just got mine from there

We've just taken out insurance on 3 of our cars with Admiral multi-car policy.

They gave us a quote without business use, I then said I needed it for childminding. She went away and said that's fine, no extra cost. My husband said he needed it for business use as well, they wanted to charge extra because of commuting. He said no way was he going to use it for commuting he sometimes had to visit sites. They didn't charge any extra then, just put on the insurance certificate that business use was not including commuting.

It would be worth phoning around rather than using confused.com or similar.
