Hi, I just can’t find definitive advice on this. Can anyone help. My daughter is classed as a key worker as an HR Manager for a Social Care company but is now working from home full time & is required to work normal 9 - 5 type hours. My son in law is also required to work outside of their home. They have a 2 year old daughter.
I am in my early 60s as a grandparent with no underlying health conditions, I live one hours drive away. My daughter has asked me to childcare at their home for one or two days a week whilst she can work upstairs. We definitely do not want to send the child to a nursery with added risk and not sure her nursery is open anyway. I am prepared to accept the additional risk to me to help support my family. But is it legal under the Coronavirus stay at home regulations? I would be caring for a vulnerable person, ie a child (but no health conditions) as my grandchild, but would my daughter be expected to look after her instead & not ‘go to work’ upstairs? She can’t do both during normal working hours. Is it ok for me to travel there for this purpose? I would be helping the community in the sense that she would not have to go to a nursery & potentially spread, but then on the other hand I would be leaving my home & isolation for 2 days a week.
In addition is the child allowed to be taken to another grandparent in their home for similar childcare reasons to allow my key worker daughter & son-in-law to work?
Thank you
