Hi everyone,
I came across this exclusion whilst researching childminding school-age children who are HE'd - I plan to HE my soon to be 4 year old and I know there's a market for HE childminders.
There is a document OFSTED produces PDF-linky which tells you when you do NOT need to register as a childminder, and one of them is this:
You do not have to register with us in the following cases:
10. If you are providing a home-education arrangement where a child of school age receives full-time education outside school, and is partly or completely taught by a person other than a parent of the child. Care provided to the child is incidental to (not the main focus of) the education offered.
What does this all mean? Only if you are actually sat down teaching the child? Or, maybe if you have an "art class" and happen to provide them lunch and a runabout, that's ok?
Just thinking ahead. It's not that I mind registration, I just hate jumping through needless hoops.
