Two people provide mutual childcare for each other. They are employed by the same company to do the same job on a job sharing basis.
Following a complaint to Ofsed and a visit from an Ofsted inspector they are advised that they are commiting an offence and their arrangement should cease forthwith or face prosecution.
Ofsted guidance states 'You must register on the early years register if you provide care at any time for the early years age group and you intend to look after at least one individual child for a period of more than two hours in any day on domestic premise for reward. 'Reward' can be money,gifts or services or providing reciprocal care for another person.
The famillies and their friends have set up an online petition to fight this perverse definition and ask that you support their cause by signing the petition and circulating as wide as possible.
