According to OFSTED, parents who look after children for more than 2 hours at a time or more than 14 days a year should register as childminders or they are breaking the law.

Women often find childcare is a huge obstacle to returning to work after having children. It is no suprise that friends help each other out.

I tweeted the BBC article earlier today and it was no suprise that parents were insensed.

The BBC article

What do you think?

Could you be ‘in trouble’ if this rule is inforced more often?

Do you think Ofsted are right?
