Hi everyone, we've just joined so forgive us if this has been answered before
Our little girl is 3 months old and we are considering whether my husband would/should try to become a registered childminder. At the moment he earns a decent wage but he loves being with our little girl so much and his three year old nephew absolutely dotes on him too.
Are we going to face the usual stigma of a male child minder? We have a beautiful house in semi-rural surroundings with sheep, cows and horses on the doorstep. Quite spacious too and we are thinking of adding a conservatory playroom.
We also have two (reasonably) large dogs, a lab cross and a collie cross. Both fantastic with kids and very laid back. Would this be considered a negative (I'm imagining so) along with the male childminder?
Grateful thanks for any help,
Angela x
