I am thinking about giving up my job as a Teaching Assistant and looking after my grandchildren so that my daughters can go back to work. They have told me that they will pay me what I was earning so that I do not lose out financially. I have tried looking into what the implications of this would be, for example: do I need to be registered as a childminder or with Ofsted? Nothing seems to be very clear to me. I will be looking after them in my own home. Does anyone know if I can be a paid childcare provider for my grandsons without having to register anywhere or if anyone could give me an idea of who I might need to speak to to gain any useful information? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
