That"s more like a nanny. Childminders have to do what nursery does,only less children. Mind you apart from all the caring they do a lotttt of paper work as well.Thats your ofsted report based on. As a childminder you CANT give only one child 100% of your time.What about other children?doooh There is a policy on that as well that is compulsory to have(including all children) And ...childminders are not robots ,they need to have a cup of tea and socialising,that doest mean that they dont know what your child is doing (they have 4 eyes :)) Childminders are mothers,parents,teachers,carers.They are there when you are not there. 65? is a bit to much.I would say 50? would be max per week 8 to 5:30 6:00.
