If they're trustworthy and sensible and won't invite friends over or accidentally set fire to the house, and if it's not for hours on end, and if they know what to do in an emergency and you are contactable, then yes, I would.

Nope

Is this after school? If so and the child is sensible, comfortable with it and can contact someone in an emergency, I’d say it’s fine.
