Children sleeping at pushchair on childminder's home..Accetible or not??

I think I would want the option of a travel cot or proper cot available. But I think it is realistic that babies will often drop off in the pushchair and then sleep there once they get home.

As a parent I wouldn't be too happy about that- because it's something that wouldn't be practical for me at home, so I wouldn't want it to become habit. Would be ok for occasional/one-off use though.

What are your reasons? Surely a buggy would take up almost as much space as a travel cot?

I'm not sure where else you would put them tbh...I'm not a childminder though and don't use one.

If it were my child I would want them only in a comfy pushchair though, with reclined seat, not upright etc.

prams of course are fine,

I had a 'friend' once who got put on the register for possible child negligence, because she and her partner put their 2yo in his upright buggy, strapped him in and left him screaming all night. She told me this a while after, as I didn't know her at the time. She said she'd told them he refused to sleep anywhere else, even in his bed, and they hadn't heard the noise...but the neighbours had and rang the police.

They were on this register for 5 years. I never quite could look her in the eye after that. But it's not terribly relevant to your situation i imagine.

Just check with the relevant authorities.

one of my childminders always did it -and I didn't give written permission and she had a good OFSTED; and my DS1 would only sleep in a buggy anyway - some children will only sleep in a cot through so if you could offer that as well it would be ideal - current CM has a travel cot upstairs which works well for my DS2

At the nursery dd goes to they often have a child or two sleeping in buggies but when I asked about this (as I was unsure about this being done with my dd) they explained it was only when the parents requested this to be done as this was what the way the child liked to be put to rest. I would definatley check with ofsted and always discuss with parents first.

I think you need to get written permission to do this. The nursery DD went to had been marked down in OFSTED because they put babies to sleep in buggies without written permission from parents. Once they had the permission then Ofsted didn't care.

I think if you have parental permission to do this then its acceptable. I have one child who will ONLY go to sleep if they are in the buggy - this is mums wishes.
